Controlled natural languages (CNLs) are subsets of natural languages, obtained by restricting the grammar and vocabulary in order to reduce or eliminate ambiguity and complexity. Traditionally, controlled languages fall into two major types: those that improve readability for human readers (e.g. non-native speakers), and those that enable reliable automatic semantic analysis of the language.

  • Controlled natural languages (CNLs) are subsets of natural languages, obtained by restricting the grammar and vocabulary in order to reduce or eliminate ambiguity and complexity. Traditionally, controlled languages fall into two major types: those that improve readability for human readers (e.g. non-native speakers), and those that enable reliable automatic semantic analysis of the language. The first type of languages (often called "simplified" or "technical" languages), for example ASD Simplified Technical English, Caterpillar Technical English, IBM's Easy English, are used in the industry to increase the quality of technical documentation, and possibly simplify the (semi-)automatic translation of the documentation. These languages restrict the writer by general rules such as "write short and grammatically simple sentences", "use nouns instead of pronouns", "use determiners", and "use active instead of passive". The second type of languages have a formal logical basis, i.e. they have a formal syntax and semantics, and can be mapped to an existing formal language, such as first-order logic. Thus, those languages can be used as knowledge-representation languages, and writing of those languages is supported by fully automatic consistency and redundancy checks, query answering, etc.
  • Una lengua controlada es una forma especial de comunicación basada en una lengua natural (una lengua utilizada espontáneamente por un grupo) de la cual se utiliza un vocabulario restringido y construcciones gramaticales consideradas simples. El uso principal de lenguas controladas es la difusión de material y contenidos a grandes audiencias que no tienen un conocimiento avanzado de la lengua base. Por ejemplo en compañías multinacionales para la redacción de manuales, o en la divulgación de actividades comunitarias en grupos de inmigrantes.
  • Упрощённые естественные языки (Controlled natural languages — CNLs) являются подмножествами естественных языков, полученных ограничением грамматики и словаря для того, чтобы уменьшить сложность и устранить двусмысленность. Традиционно упрощённые естественные языки разделяются на два типа: которые улучшают удобочитаемость для людей; которые обеспечивают качественный семантический анализ языка компьютерами.
