Linguistic Variables

Linguistic variables are variables whose values are expressed in natural language rather than precise values. For example, instead of saying "temperature is 25°C," a linguistic variable might describe it as "warm" or "hot." These variables are useful in fields like fuzzy logic and expert systems, where human language and vague concepts are involved. They help computers interpret and work with subjective or imprecise information, making decision-making and reasoning more aligned with human thinking.
