Abstract

Vague notions, sod) as `generally', `rarely', `often', `almost always', `a meaningful subset of a whole', `most', etc., occur often in ordinary language and in some brandies of science. We introduce modal logical systems, with generalized operators, for the precise treatment of assertions involving some versions of such vague notions. We examine modal logics, constructed in a. modular fashical, with generalized operators corresponding to some versions of `generally' and `rarely'. (AU)
