Hi Albena,
I'm not sure what distinguishes a "linguistic variable", but if
your interest is in hierarchical Bayesian calculations, David
Wolf and I show how to do that for many functions of discrete
variables in
Wolpert, D.H., and Wolf, D.R., "Estimating Functions of Probability
Distributions from a Finite Set of Samples", Physical Review E, 52, 1995.
Best wishes,
David Wolpert
