The two‐dimensional uncertain linguistic variables (2DULVs) add a self‐evaluation on the reliability of the assessment results given by decision makers (DMs), so they can better describe some uncertain information, and the partition Bonferroni mean (PBM) operator has the advantages, which assumes that all aggregated arguments are partitioned into several subparts, and members in the same subpart are interrelated and members in different subparts are no interrelationships. However, the traditional PBM can only deal with the crisp numbers and cannot aggregate the 2DULVs. In this paper, we extend the PBM operator to deal with the 2DULVs and propose some PBM operators for 2DULVs. First, we introduce the concepts, properties, operational laws, and comparison methods of 2DULVs, and then we propose the PBM operator for 2DULVs (2DULPBM), the weighted PBM operator for 2DULVs (2DULWPBM), the partitioned geometric Boferroni mean (PGBM) operator for 2DULVs (2DULPGBM), and weighted PGBM operator for 2DULVs (2DULWPGBM). Further, we develop a method to solve multiattribute group decision‐making (MAGDM) problems with the 2DULVs. Finally, we give an example to verify that the method based on the proposed operators is effective and influential.
