AB  - Based on linguistic term sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, the concept of hesitant 
      fuzzy linguistic sets was introduced. The focus of this paper is the 
      multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in which the criteria are in 
      different priority levels and the criteria values take the form of hesitant fuzzy 
      linguistic numbers (HFLNs). A new approach to solving these problems is proposed, 
      which is based on the generalized prioritized aggregation operator of HFLNs. 
      Firstly, the new operations and comparison method for HFLNs are provided and some 
      linguistic scale functions are applied. Subsequently, two prioritized aggregation 
      operators and a generalized prioritized aggregation operator of HFLNs are 
      developed and applied to MCDM problems. Finally, an illustrative example is given 
      to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method, which are 
      then compared to the existing approach.
