متن کاملLexical Tightness and Text Complexity
We present a computational notion of Lexical Tightness that measures global cohesion of content words in a text. Lexical tightness represents the degree to which a text tends to use words that are highly inter-associated in the language. We demonstrate the utility of this measure for estimating text complexity as measured by US school grade level designations of texts. Lexical tightness strongl...

متن کاملMeasuring Sentiment Annotation Complexity of Text
The effort required for a human annotator to detect sentiment is not uniform for all texts, irrespective of his/her expertise. We aim to predict a score that quantifies this effort, using linguistic properties of the text. Our proposed metric is called Sentiment Annotation Complexity (SAC). As for training data, since any direct judgment of complexity by a human annotator is fraught with subjec...
متن کاملSuggestions and Cautions for Addressing Text Complexity
The majority of states have adopted the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/ Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (CCSSELA), and assessments aligned with the Standards are scheduled to come online in 2014– 2015. As we indicated in a previous column for The Reading Teacher (Valencia & Wixson, 2013), it ’ s no surprise then that classroom teach...
