This sounds potentially intriguing.

Can you please describe what it does in simple (non-weasel) words?

thanks

Different students need different modes of teaching to learn effectively. 
Although tools currently exist for the evaluation of students' 
learning styles or psychological types, few tools exist for analyzing the 
language of the classroom. This software provides an open standard 
for the coding and subsequent analysis of large amounts of discourse.

WEASEL Words 1.0 combines the capabilities of Perl, databases, and the 
WWW. It allows researchers to automate the coding and analysis of 
oral and written discourse by separating each paragraph into individual 
sentences and applying identification codes to each sentence. These 
sentences may then be imported into a database for easy manipulation. 
This database, working in conjunction with a WWW server, can then show 
the transcription, in context. Each sentence can be individually coded in 
greater detail.
