            Abstract : 
CWW, computing with words, is enriched by upper and lower membership functions. Upper and lower membership functions are the bounds identified by interval valued Type-2 fuzziness. Interval-valued Type-2 representation and reasoning exists in membership acquisition and in combination of linguistic concepts. Upper and lower membership functions capture both imprecision and uncertainty associated with meaning in CWW. A much more rich meaning of words can be represented and reasoned with when we use Full Type-2 membership functions. In Full Type-2 representation and reasoning, degrees of uncertainty are captured as well as their bounds. But this entails a more complex representation and reasoning.
