摘要

A vocabulary is a list of words designating subsets from a grand set X. We model a vocabulary as a partition of X and study the aggregation of individual vocabularies into a collective one. We characterize aggregation rules when X is linearly ordered and each word of the vocabulary spans an order interval. We allow for individual vocabularies to differ both in the number and in the span of their words. Under a suitable restriction on agents’ preferences, we show that our aggregation rules are strategy-proof.
