The document proposes implementing a universal color-coding system to assist with language learning. It describes needs expressed by language learners and educators for tools that allow toggling text to highlight parts of speech through color coding. This would help comprehend languages by understanding their structure. The system would work across browsers and platforms. It provides examples of text with parts of speech highlighted when toggled. It aims to clarify grammar concepts like verbs, nouns, and word order through visuals.

1. Implementing a
Universal
Color-coded System
for assistance with language learning

2. Establishing Needs
Surfers and non-native English speakers see
a need for:
a browser toolbar (and also an extension to a word-
processing app) where, by selecting from a list of
parts-of-speech, one can toggle to derive color-
coded text and derive a greater understanding of
how the displayed language is 'built' in order to
better comprehend and communicate.

3. Establishing Needs
Educators see a need for:
a more efficient correction tool and system
within word-processing applications, an
extension with a more practical and
adaptable (detachable) colour-palette for
adding colours with a single click and
applying feedback that is graphic.

4. Existing Tools and Resources
Using existing language algorythms,
software developers may collaborate with
linguists and educators to come up with an
effective system, to work for any language
displayed in browsers, to prioritise the
Internet as an educational platform,
helping us understand how our differences
make the world.

5. Parts of Speech
Basic terminology to consider:
• Subject (pronouns)
• Verb (base / modal / auxiliary)
• Nouns & Complement (Object)
• Articles (determiners)
• Adjectives
• Adverbs (frequency, manner, time)
• Tenses (imperative, simple, continuous, perfect)
• Fixed expression (and Phrasals)
• Prepositions
• Linkers (conjunctions)

6. Colouring Parts of Speech
•
• Articles (determiners)
• Adjectives
• Adverbs (frequency, manner, time)
• Tenses (simple, continuous, perfect)
• [ Fixed expression ]
• Conjunctions
Subject - Verb - Complement (Object)

7. Basic Grammar Concepts:
• Syntax (word order, time, place)
o Noun Phrase (article, adjective, noun)
• Lexical items (vocabulary, words)
• Collocation (colligation)
• Punctuation (hyphenation etc.)
• Capitalisation (large letters)
• Pronunciation (and tonic stress)
• Register (formal/informal style)
• Simplification (sound/word omission, contextual
understanding)

various headings essential to a greater understanding of what to
look out for when writing. Though this is document serves as a
compendium, it is by no means complete. I intend to regularly
update it to include more in each category as I receive more written
work."
