Lexical Diversity
Lexical diversity analysis quantifies how varied the vocabulary of a text is — how rich an author's word choice is — using measures such as the type-token ratio (TTR), MTLD, vocd-D, and Yule's K. The MTLD and vocd-D measures were validated by McCarthy and Jarvis (2010), building on earlier work by Tweedie and Baayen (1998) on the stability of lexical-richness measures.
