Coh-metrix: analysis of text on cohesion and language.
Advances in computational linguistics and discourse processing have made it possible to automate many language- and text-processing mechanisms. We have developed a computer tool called Coh-Metrix, which analyzes texts on over 200 measures of cohesion, language, and readability. Its modules use lexicons, part-of-speech classifiers, syntactic parsers, templates, corpora, latent semantic analysis,...
متن کاملValidating Coh-Metrix
Coh-Metrix is a computer program that analyzes various text features relevant to text comprehension by incorporating techniques informed by theories of text processing, cognitive psychology, and computational linguistics. Three key classes of cohesion indices (i.e., coreference, conceptual relations, connectivity) measured by Coh-Metrix are evaluated with texts used in published studies of cohe...
متن کاملA Coh-Metrix Analysis of Variation among Biomedical Abstracts
Using the already validated Coh-Metrix tool, this study examines whether there are significant linguistic and discourse differences between biomedical abstracts for American and Korean English. Also, the current study accounts for variation among journals’ countries of origin, distinguishing between biomedical journals published in the United States from biomedical journals published in South K...
متن کاملAnalyzing Writing Styles with Coh-Metrix
Computer scientists, linguists, stylometricians, and cognitive scientists have successfully divided corpora into modes, domains, genres, registers, and authors. The limitations for these successes, however, often result from insufficient indices with which their corpora are analyzed. In this paper, we use Coh-Metrix, a computational tool that analyzes text on over 200 indices of cohesion and di...
متن کاملLanguage in Law: Using Coh-Metrix to Assess Differences between American and English/Welsh Language Varieties
To compare discourse differences in American and English/Welsh legal cases, we conducted a discriminant function analysis along five indices of cohesion on a specially constructed corpus. Our results suggest substantial differences, casting doubt on previous generalizations about British and American writing. Our results also offer guidance to developers of legal English textbooks and drafters ...
