In recent years, some complex linguistic expression techniques with probabilistic information, such as proportional linguistic terms, probabilistic linguistic term sets, have been proposed to describe the uncertainty of opinions and preferences. However, the probability information is expressed as the crisp numbers, which is usually difficult to be estimated and information losses may exist. To capture the inherent fuzziness and vagueness of decision information more comprehensively and accurately, in this article, we introduce a novel concept named dual linguistic term set (DLTS), which consi...
