Hi Juan.

I can envision something like this:

hedge— = “somewhat” {x – 0.50} (capped at x = 0.00)
hedge– = “fairly” {x – 0.30} (capped at x = 0.00)
hedge- = “moderately” {x – 0.10} (capped at x = 0.00)
hedge+ = “ESPECIALLY” {x + 0.10} (capped at x = 1.00)
hedge++ = “VERY” {x + 0.30} (capped at x = 1.00)
hedge+++ = “EXTREMELY” {x + 0.50} (capped at x = 1.00)

and so forth. All minus hedges have lowercase linguistic tokens; all plus hedges have UPPERCASE linguistic tokens. So I could define both “extremely” and “EXTREMELY” in the same Rule Block and the hedge adjustment applied would be different (one minus; one plus). The actual linguistic token values can be anything the developer wants to use for this Rule Block.

Cheers.
