Abstract:

HIGHLIGHT is a BASIC program designed to aid in textual analysis by highlighting desired portions of a text. This program has been found to have applications of value in a wide variety of language study situations. This article describes the original purpose for the program as well as some of these other applications. Professor Davison suggests we should be willing to experiment with programs that do not have an immediate general application, for it is in such experiments that new applications are discovered.
