Linguistic Features of Writing Quality (2010, methodology): “The Coh-Metrix indices for cohesion have been validated across a number of other studies distinguishing text types (Crossley et al., 2007; McCarthy et al., 2006, 2007).”
Coh-Metrix: Capturing Linguistic Features of Cohesion (2010, background): “Readability formulas became popular in the 1950s with the research of scholars such as Flesch (1948) and Dale and Chall (1949). By the 1980s, over 200 readability measures had been developed, with over a 1000 supporting studies (Chall & Dale, 1995; Dubay, 2004).”
Predicting Second Language Writing Proficiency: The Roles of Cohesion and Linguistic Sophistication (2012, background): “More recently, L2 writing researchers have begun to take advantage of computational tools that provide more sophisticated linguistic indices, such as Coh-Metrix (Crossley & McNamara, 2009; McCarthy et al., 2007).”
