How to use linguistic instruments for object-oriented analysis

One of object orientation's main limitations is the object-oriented analysis process's immaturity. This article proposes an approach that is based on using linguistic information from information specifications to apply during this process. Our method helps to analyze this information semantically and syntactically and employs a semi-formal procedure to extract an object-oriented system's components.
