Automatic Measurement of Syntactic Complexity Using the Revised Developmental Level Scale (2008, methodology): “Graesser et al. (2004) developed a software package, Coh-Metrix, which calculates the coherence of texts using a wide range of measures, including three indexes of syntactic complexity: mean number of modifiers per noun phrase; mean number of higher level constituents per sentence, controlling for…”
Making the right connections: Differential effects of reading intervention for subgroups of comprehenders (2012, neutral): “Once the general goal structure was developed and events were included to expand on this goal structure, the texts were entered into Coh-Metrix (Graesser et al., 2004), a computer tool that analyzes texts for cohesion, language (such as parts of speech, word frequency, and semantics), and…”
Automatically Assessing Lexical Sophistication: Indices, Tools, Findings, and Application (2015, methodology): “The freely available online version of Coh-Metrix, for example, despite reporting a number of lexical indices, can process only one text at a time, practically limiting the number of texts that can be examined.”
Language comprehension is both embodied and symbolic (2008, methodology): “Recently, LSA has been used as a measure of coherence in Coh-Metrix (Graesser et al. 2004; Louwerse et al. 2004), an internetbased tool that analyses texts on over 50 types of cohesion relations and over 200 measures of language, text, and readability.”
Cohesion, coherence, and expert evaluations of writing proficiency (2010, background): “Keywords: Coherence; Writing Quality; Cohesion, Linguistics, Computational Algorithms, Models.”
Predicting Second Language Writing Proficiency: The Roles of Cohesion and Linguistic Sophistication (2012, methodology): “Sentences with difficult syntactic constructions include the use of embedded constituents and are often structurally dense, syntactically ambiguous or ungrammatical (Graesser et al., 2004).”
Linguistic features in writing quality and development: An overview (2020, methodology): “Many of these tools have been developed for non-specialist in order to increase access to NLP analyses (e.g., Crossley, Kyle & Dascalu, in press; Graesser, McNamara, Louwerse, & Cai, 2004; Kyle & Crossley, 2017; Kyle, Crossley, & Berger, 2018).”
Automatic Evaluation of Linguistic Quality in Multi-Document Summarization (2010, methodology): “The Coh-Metrix tool 5 provides an implementation of 54 features known in the psycholinguistic literature to correlate with the coherence of human-written texts (Graesser et al., 2004).”
