Abstract: The ordinal sum construction provides a very effective way to generate a new triangular norm on the real unit interval from existing ones. One of the most prominent theorems concerning the ordinal sum of triangular norms on the real unit interval states that a triangular norm is continuous if and only if it is uniquely representable as an ordinal sum of continuous Archimedean triangular norms. However, the ordinal sum of triangular norms on subintervals of a bounded lattice is not always a triangular norm (even if only one summand is involved), if one just extends the ordinal sum construction to a bounded lattice in a na"{i}ve way. In the present paper, appropriately dealing with those elements that are incomparable with the endpoints of the given subintervals, we propose an alternative definition of ordinal sum of countably many (finite or countably infinite) triangular norms on subintervals of a complete lattice, where the endpoints of the subintervals constitute a chain. The completeness requirement for the lattice is not needed when considering finitely many triangular norms. The newly proposed ordinal sum is shown to be always a triangular norm. Several illustrative examples are given.
