In this paper we shall develop a procedure for combining numerical and linguistic information without loss of information in the transformation processes between numerical and linguistic information, taking as base for representing the information the 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model. We shall analyze the conditions to impose the linguistic term set in order to ensure that the combination procedure does not produce any loss of information. Afterwards the aggregation process will be applied to a decision procedure over a multi-attribute decision-making problem dealing with numerical and linguistic information, that is, with qualitative and quantitative attributes.
