Abstract
Plain Language Analysis tool is a new revolutionary analysis tool to help users create clear, concise, unambiguous documents using the Plain Language technique.
On June 1, 1998, President Clinton issued an executive memo requiring agencies to write in plain language. Several statutes have also admonished agencies to write certain types of documents in plain language. Our Plain Language Analysis (PLA) tool is based on the SAT technologies; this tool allows a user to analyze documents using Plane Language Analysis Templates. The Plain Language Analysis Templates can be created by any user and applied in any of our document analysis tools. This tool is specifically for those chartered with the Pain Language compliance tasks.
Who is PLA for and what does it do for us?
PLA is for anyone involved in editing, publishing, and reviewing documents. Plain Language is about communications so PLA also includes templates from our other tools that can help anyone understand a document.
So...
PLA is for every legislator and government representative on earth. As we ponder our actions and seal our role in history. As we create legislation and serve the forces we decide to serve.
PLA is for every teacher and student in every country on earth. If you are able to use an Internet search engine you are able to use PLA. So children can use it in their history and social studies classes that we provide.
PLA is for every professor and advanced student in every country on earth. It allows the serious academic to ruthlessly slice through text and provide quantitative results of our studies. It helps to remove the bias of our cultural and educational past.
PLA is for every human on earth. To help us understand our present and our history. To ruthlessly slice through a document and gather the evidence that it's content reveals.
