Dealing with uncertainty is always a challenging problem, and different tools have been proposed to deal with it. Fuzzy sets was presented to manage situations in which experts have some membership value to assess an alternative. The fuzzy linguistic approach has been applied successfully to many problems. The linguistic information expressed by means of 2‐tuples, which were composed by a linguistic term and a numeric value assessed in [ − 0.5, 0.5). Linguistic values was used to assess an alternative and variable in qualitative settings. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets were presented to manage situations in which experts have some membership and nonmembership value to assess an alternative. In this paper, the concept of an I2LI model is developed to provide a linguistic and computational basis to manage the situations in which experts assess an alternative in possible and impossible linguistic variable and their translation parameter. A method to solve the group decision making problem based on intuitionistic 2‐tuple linguistic information (I2LI) by the group of experts is formulated. Some operational laws on I2LI are introduced. Based on these laws, new aggregation operators are introduced to aggregate the collective opinion of decision makers. An illustrative example is given to show the practicality and feasibility of our proposed aggregation operators and group decision making method.
