ELAN is a simple program for educational demonstrations of
the use of a computer in language studies. From an input of
arbitrary length it counts the occurrence of every letter/
punctuation mark, and other symbol in the sample, and also
can be set to count the occurrences of up to 64 nominated
words, or the beginnings or endings of words, each with a
maximum length of 7 characters, and to present all these
counts in a convenient format at the end of the sample,
together with a word length analysis and a count of the
number of paragraphs in the sample. Input can be by paper
tape, using either a teletype of HSR, or directly from the
keyboard.
