  • Grammar Check: I am not aware of any dedicated grammar parsers for emacs yet. I will mention writegood-mode available in MELPA which highlights weasel words and passive voice in the buffer. It gets you half the way there.

    Another possibly useful library is dupwords.el which can highlight if a particular word (typically nouns and pronouns) are used more than once in the same sentence. This is more general than finding repeated adjacent words which can be handled by flyspell.

  • Anything else: Correcting language in general is a hard problem. That being said, if there exists any external program/script in this area, it is usually easy to make it interface with emacs.

If you use LaTeX for writing, I have personally found the following ruby scripts quite useful for checking style and consistency. I just call the shell command from the minibuffer itself. A viewer capable of forward and inverse search is also valuable when proofreading. On MS Windows, I use sumatra-forward package from ELPA for forward search in SumatraPDF viewer.
