Abstract
In this paper, we improve the abilities of a previous model of representation of vague information expressed under an affirmative or negative form. The study more especially insists on information referring to linguistic negation. The extended definition of the linguistic negation that we propose makes it possible to deny nuanced property combinations based upon disjunction and conjunction operators. The properties that this linguistic negation possesses now allow considering it as a generalization of the logical one, and this is in satisfactory agreement with linguistic analysis.
