We show how Zadeh's idea of compu ng with words and percep ons, based on his concept of a precisiated natural language (PNL), can lead to a new direc on in the use of natural language in data mining, linguis c data(base) summaries. We emphasize the relevance of Zadeh's another idea, that of a protoform, and show that various types of Yager type linguis c data summaries may be viewed as items in a hierarchy of protoforms of summaries. We briefly present an implementa on for a sales database of a
