Spin off of the original answer to the linked question.

  • 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.

If you are writing primarily using AucTeX having a viewer that supports forward and backward search can be valuable when proofreading.

  • 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.
