Text Complexity Analysis
Text complexity analysis measures the linguistic difficulty of a text along dimensions such as syntactic complexity (sentence length, embedded clauses), lexical density, and referential chains. Grounded in readability research consolidated by Vajjala and Meurers (2014) and Crossley and colleagues (2011), it turns prose into quantitative scores that estimate how hard a document is to read.
