abstract = {{In this paper we argue that the concept of language awareness, as
known from programmer's editors, can be transferred to writing natural
language and word processors. We propose editing functions which
use methods from computational linguistics and take the structures
of natural languages into consideration. Such functions could reduce
errors and better support writers in realizing their communicative
goals. We briefly compare characteristics of programming languages
and natural languages and their processing tools with respect to
their suitability for being used in languageaware functions in editors.
However, linguistic methods have limits, and there are various aspects
software developers have to take into account to avoid creating a
solution looking for a problem: Language-aware functions could be
powerful tools for writers, but writers must not be forced to adapt
to their tools.}},
