Controlled languages
Controlled natural languages are subsets
of natural languages whose grammars
and dictionaries have been restricted in
order to reduce or eliminate both
ambiguity and complexity (for instance, by
cutting down on rarely used superlative or
adverbial forms or irregular verbs). The
purpose behind the development and
implementation of a controlled natural
language typically is to aid non-native
speakers of a natural language in
understanding it, or to ease computer
processing of a natural language. An
example of a widely used controlled
natural language is Simplified English,
which was originally developed for
aerospace industry maintenance manuals.
