AB  - In [1], Xu and Da introduced the Induced Ordered Weighted Geometric (IOWG) operator,
which takes as its argument pairs, called OWG pairs, in which one component is used to induce an
ordering over the second components which are exact numerical values and then aggregated. In this
study, we develop an extended IOWG (EIOWG) operator, in which the second components are
linguistic variables. We study some desirable properties of the EIOWG operator, and then apply the
EIOWG operator to group decision making based on multiplicative linguistic preference relations.
