This paper presents a new approach to empirical validation and verification of guidelines for easy-to-read material. The goal of our approach is twofold. One the one hand, the linguistic analysis investigates if the well-known rules are really applied consistently throughout the published easy-to-read material. The findings from this study can help define new rules and refine existing rules.
One the other hand, we show how the software developed for the linguistic analysis can also be used as a tool to support authors in the production of easy-to-read material. The tool applies the rules to the new text and highlights any passages that do not meet those rules, so that the author can go back and improve the text.
