5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> As concerns the German language, we have shown that there is a well-defined level of automatic proofreading in between the classical level of checking isolated words and the more advanced level of grammar checking. On the basis of work done by Zellig Harris (Harris, 1970) and Maurice Gross (Gross, 1986) we have identified this level as that of so-called &amp;quot;frozen phrases&amp;quot;, and we have proposed and implemented an automatic pmofi'eading system that covers a significant amount of the frozen phrases of German.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We take it that a similar approach is feasible for languages other than German as well.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Although in comparison with English, French, Italian, and Spanish, German seems to be unique as concerns co-occurrence restrictions ff)r upper/lower case st)ellings in a large number of cases, there are at least, as indicated in (Gross, 1986), the thousands of compounds or frozen words in each of these languages which are clearly within reach fflr tile methods discussed. In addition, the generalizability of our approach has received some confirmation fiom case studies carried out ff)r English and Italian.</Paragraph>
