Abstract

In the 20th century, with the globalization of the economy, Increasing migration and the development of automatic translation, the concept of controlled language emerged and continued to expand and deepen, attracting wide attention from scholars In linguistics and translation circles. With this text, we aim to reflect on controlled language, highlighting its origin, typologies and function. In addition, of course, we briefly reflect on Controlled Language (CL) with regard to the Chinese language and the Portuguese language. Finally, we highlight the relevance of such a study, of the research on this language, considering the Increasingly close communication between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. Such language could play an important role In the field of automatic translation, teaching, writing texts for technical communication and In the field of artificial Intelligence, avoiding ambiguities, favoring understanding and translatability.
