Dissertation Abstract:

A subset of natural language discourse, viz. aviation communication,
is subjected to a theoretically and empirically grounded
analysis. Particular sections of the discourse show a deviation from
the strict regulations which have been installed for this type of
communication. Those parts that conform with the regulations belong to
a controlled language. By contrast, the parts breaking the rules
violate the grammar of the controlled language. This analysis attempts
to formalise the patterns which emerge whenever the regulations are
transgressed.
