Abstract
Following the Computing With Words, in its wider sense, this paper examines the treatment of prepositions with fuzzy logic. In particular, the paper looks at the treatment of two prepositions, in and on, from both the theoretical perspective and that of a text sample analysis. We have shown that the fuzzy analysis of prepositional meaning is helpful for its formal and computational representation, while skirting the thorny issue of the cognitivist metaphorization of abstract meanings of prepositions.
