Const

The proposed research and application programme can be seen as a text-constitutive programme, which enables the user to appeal to computerized information, while planning, formulating and revising a particular writing task. The computerized information is stored in interactive modules, i.e. 1) a CONST-specific thesaurus and an adapted version of the electronic Van DALE 12 dictionary, 2) an algorithmic framework, actualized by a number of question-packages regarding business texts and memos, and 3) a set of corresponding predefined and ad hoc constructed structural descriptions. Important topics of research are the symmetric internal and external electronic communication links inside and between the various modules, as for example the internal link between the two thesauri or the external links between structural description, question-package and thesauri. What can be demonstrated, is a prototypical framework, in which each CONST-component is represented properly and in which the various communication links have been actualized.
