<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>I am joining this conversation late as I was not on the Attempto mailing list until now. I would just like to point to some of our own work since we are active in this area too. We have worked on two CNLs for legal texts, focusing on normative contracts. Both are described in separate chapters of my upcoming licentiate thesis (details <a href="https://gup.ub.gu.se/publication/222958-analysing-normative-contracts">here</a> and PDF <a href="http://academic.johnjcamilleri.com/papers/licentiate2015.pdf">here</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>One CNL is designed for the contract logic CL (chapter 2), and the other for the C-O Diagram formalism (chapter 3). Admittedly both CNLs were designed to closely match the abstract syntax of their respective formalisms, rather than to have a wide coverage or generic use, but you may still find them relevant. We plan to develop this CNL for normative contracts further during the remainder of my PhD.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Best regards,</div><div>John<br><br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">John J.

<div>I've thought a bit about this in the context of economic contracts and associated law. It would seem to me that any such natural language would have to support modal constructs like tense, intent, obligation vs option, etc. as well as all the
features of "ownership". Are there any extant languages that have this richness?<br>

Hi Norbert,<br>
<br>
The Massachusetts Legislative Drafting Language is about representing laws, the Controlled Language for Crisis Management (CLCM) deals with regulations of sorts, and Plain Language has been used for all kinds of government documents. None of them is an ACE-type
CNL though. You can find them all in my survey: <a href="http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.1162/COLI_a_00168" target="_blank">

Hi<br>
<br>
I am looking for pointers to publications and projects using controlled natural language – preferably Attempto Controlled English – for legal texts like laws, regulations, contracts etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
