Abstract
In this paper we introduce the concept of a linguistic variable for importance. This is done by defining its linguistic values as fuzzy subsets over the set of nonnegative numbers. Furthermore, we show how to modify a fuzzy subset by its importance. That is, if A is a fuzzy subset of X, and / is its importance, then A becomes AI which is also a fuzzy subset of X.Keywords
