The following paper is the next step of research on automatic processing of business rules expressed in natural language. Such rules are used to describe a selected universe of discourse - its properties and constraints. They are usually written with a text editor as a set of free-form sentences. The purpose of the paper is to propose a method for verifying the compatibility of business rules with a domain specification in the form of a UML class diagram. Such verification is performed at the syntax level. While our previous research has focused on processing only simple sentences, this paper presents a method for analyzing compound sentences. The usefulness of our ideas has been experimentally demonstrated.
