Hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) is a set with ordered consecutive linguistic terms, and is very useful in addressing the situations where people are hesitant in providing their linguistic assessments. Wang [H. Wang, Extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and their aggregation in group decision making, International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems 8(1) (2015) 14–33.] removed the consecutive condition to introduce the notion of extended HFLTS (EHFLTS). The generalized form has wider applications in linguistic group decision-making. By introducing distance measures for EHFLTSs, in this paper we develop a novel multi-criteria group decision making model to deal with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. The model collects group linguistic information by using EHFLTSs and avoids the possible loss of information. Moreover, it can assess the importance weights of criteria according to their subjective and objective information and rank alternatives based on the rationale of TOPSIS. In order to illustrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm, two examples are given and comparisons are made with the other existing methods.

When decision makers are hesitant among different linguistic terms, the traditional use of one single linguistic term will restrict the accuracy of personal preference expressed by experts, it is necessary to use composite linguistic term which contains both the one single linguistic terms and the comparative linguistic expressions. Firstly, with the use of context-free grammars, two-tuple linguistic representation model and hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets, the linguistic expressions of the preference relations provided by experts are transformed into judgment matrix, then the suitable aggregation operators will be selected to obtain a best solution to the problem. Finally, a new group decision making model based on composite linguistic expressions has been proposed and a practical example has been analyzed to verify the reasonability and feasibility of the approach.
