In this paper, we define the concept of uncertain multiplicative linguistic preference relation, and introduce some operational laws of uncertain multiplicative linguistic variables. We propose some new aggregation operators including the uncertain linguistic geometric mean (ULGM) operator, uncertain linguistic weighted geometric mean (ULWGM) operator, uncertain linguistic ordered weighted geom...

In this paper we present a general purpose grammar for the deep linguistic processing of Portuguese that delivers high precision grammatical analysis and detailed meaning representations. We present the main design features and evaluation results concerning the grammar’s coverage as well as its ability to produce correct grammatical analyses.
