From COGRAM to ALCOGRAM
Geert Adriaens, Dirk Schreors · 1992
In this paper we describe the roots of Controlled English (CE), the analysis of several existing CE grammars, the development of a well-founded 150-rule CE grammar (COGRAM), the elaboration of an algorithmic variant (ALCOGRAM) as a basis for NLP applications, the use of ALCOGRAM in a CAI program teaching writers how to use it effectively, and the preparatory study into a Controlled English grammar and style checker within a desktop publishing (DTP) environment.
