Abstract

The chapter first summarises the findings from existing controlled language analyses. It then brings together the information from the previous two chapters through analysing the controlled language rules introduced in the second chapter against the best-practice features introduced in the third chapter to ascertain if and how the rules reflect the best-practice features. The findings from the analysis help in identifying rules for a controlled language rule set model.
