Abstract :
There are many misconceptions about what Computing with Words (CW) is and what it has to offer. A common misconception is that CW is closely related to natural language processing. In reality, this is not the case. More importantly, at this juncture what is widely unrecognized is that moving from computation with numbers to computation with words has the potential for evolving into a basic paradigm shift—a paradigm shift which would open the door to a wide-ranging enlargement of the role of natural languages in scientific theories.
