Abstract

Hart, Nesbit and Nakayama, and others have described answer markup methods for providing feedback to short answers entered by foreign language learners. These methods are not directly applicable to the languages of Southeast Asia, which are not written in a strictly linear fashion. Instead, these languages contain written tones and vowel fragments which appear above and/ or below the main line. Thus a given column may have several written letters making unmodified columnwise edit markup misleading. This paper describes the modification of Hart's edit markup software and a second variation based on a simple edit distance algorithm adapted to a general Southeast Asian font system devised by the author.
