Abstract
This chapter discusses grammar errors and style weaknesses identified by Critique, a text processing system. Linguistic criteria for distinguishing between grammar and style are drawn first. These criteria are reflected in the messages issued by Critique to the user. Then, a computational criterion for distinguishing between grammar and style is discussed. This criterion is reflected in the implementation of the grammar- and style-checking mechanisms. Finally, it is explained how Critique operates when the criteria are in conflict: the implementation is driven by the computational criterion, while the display to the user remains faithful to the linguistic criteria.
