Interval-valued hesitant fuzzy linguistic sets and their applications in multi-criteria decision-making problems (2014, background): “[40,41] proposed hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs) that assess a linguistic variable by using several linguistic terms, and research in this area has been growing [3,20,22,25,42,51,55,82,83].”
Probabilistic Linguistic MULTIMOORA: A Multicriteria Decision Making Method Based on the Probabilistic Linguistic Expectation Function and the Improved Borda Rule (2018, methodology): “Liao et al. [12] gave the mathematical form of the HFLTS on S as HS = {< xi, hS (xi) > |xi ∈ X}, where the hesitant fuzzy linguistic element (HFLE) hS (xi) = {sϕl (xi)|sϕl (xi) ∈ S, l = 1, . . . , Li} is a set of Li values in S.”
Probabilistic linguistic term sets in multi-attribute group decision making (2016, background): “Furthermore, Xu [33] extended the discrete LTS to a continuous version: { [0, ]} S s     (2) The extended form is convenient for calculations and can depict the given linguistic evaluations without loss of information [18].”
