Abstract
In this paper we discuss the use of controlled languages not for written texts but for oral communication which has never been done before, and this in safety critical domains. Interference between languages could effectively cause accidents due to misunderstanding of messages whatever they are. We discuss how firstly we could automatically detect eventual possibilities of misunderstanding due to mispronunciation or bad interpretation and secondly how to prevent these problems by using controlled languages. We show that our methodology, which is intensional in nature, is much more productive than working in extension.
