Results of the application of a linguistic approach to object-oriented analysis

In this paper, we present a linguistic approach in order to achieve the object oriented analysis (OOA) process in a systematic way. The approach is based on the definition of a formal correspondence between a subset of structures from linguistic world, called linguistic patterns, and a subset of structures from conceptual world, called conceptual patterns. This correspondence provides a solid basis in order to develop the conceptual models that represent the problem and its solution. One conceptual model will be used to represent the static part of the system, and another will represent system behavior.
