Kniffin, J. Douglas, Kincaid, J. Peter, Lang, Sheau and Thomas, Margaret (1989): Computer Aids for Authoring Technical Text Written in Controlled English. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1134-1138.

“This paper describes the development and validation of software to automate the authoring of training materials written in controlled English, such as Simplified English (SE). In SE, writers must adhere to many writing rules. While such materials are easy to read, they are very difficult to write. For example, use of short names for equipment must be consistent; also use of synonyms is not allowed. The software provides feedback regarding adherence to stipulated vocabulary and writing rules. Algorithms contained in the software include sentence parsing routines to verify that words are used according to their defined part of speech.”
