abstract = {{Unlike programmers, authors only get very little support from their
writing tools, i.e., their word processors and editors. Current editors
are unaware of the objects and structures of natural languages and
only offer character-based operations for manipulating text. Writers
thus have to execute complex sequences of low-level functions to
achieve their rhetoric or stylistic goals while composing. Software
requiring long and complex sequences of operations causes users to
make slips. In the case of editing and revising, these slips result
in typical revision errors, such as sentences without a verb, agreement
errors, or incorrect word order. In the LingURed project, we are
developing language-aware editing functions to prevent errors. These
functions operate on linguistic elements, not characters, thus shortening
the command sequences writers have to execute. This paper describes
the motivation and background of the LingURed project and shows some
prototypical language-aware functions.}},
