Writing for Language-Impaired Readers (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper advocates an approach whereby the needs of language-impaired readers are taken into account at the stage of text authoring by means of NLP integration. In our proposed system architecture, a simplification module produces candidate simplified rephrasings that the author of the text can accept or edit. This article describes the syntactic simplification module which has been partly implemented. We believe the proposed approach constitutes a framework for the more general task of authoring NLP-enriched documents obtained through validations from the author.
