. We recognize the need for defining a quality model of linguistic properties of natural language requirements. We are convinced that the definition of a thorough linguistic quality model can be obtained as a meeting point between the specialization of high level quality frameworks for requirements engineering on one hand, and a systematic collection and classification of the different Natural Language Processing techniques proposed in the literature specifically for the analysis of requirements. 1 Motivations Quality in software engineering is following, to some extent, the same historical path as quality in classical engineering has. Many methods and tools have been proposed in the past to achieve some specific quality objectives. However, the vast majority of them are the outcome of a painful trial-and-error process. Stories of projects ended in uttermost disaster have taught us what not to do in a software project, while experiences with successful projects, together with ...
