  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a generalized inference method needed for constructing a natural language communication system. The method is used to obtain fuzzy quantifier Q\´ when "Q are F is taurArr Q\´(m\´A) are mF is m" is tau" is inferred (Q, Q\´: fuzzy quantifiers, A: fuzzy subject, m, m\´, m": modifiers, F: fuzzy predicate, tau : truth qualifier). We show that Q\´ is resolved step by step for two types of Q, including a non-increasing type (few,...) and a non-decreasing type (most,...)
