The notion of property from a linguistic point of view, the constituent parts of change of state and product as a means to execute the change, are described. Information plus medium is regarded as a product. Based on previously given definition, the structure of information is introduced together with units, meaning and precision as measures of its effectiveness in changing mental states. The design of a bundle of information as part of a problem solving scheme is described. The method of linguistic modelling is introduced for modelling delivery of information and medium from a sender to receiver. Uncertainties associated with construction and delivery of information are taken into consideration through a certainty theory.
