Assessing the Validity of Lexical Diversity Indices Using Direct Judgements (2020, methodology): “McCarthy and Jarvis (2007) also used a parallel sampling technique to investigate the relationship between text length and lexical diversity indices in an L1 corpus of speaking and writing.”
Predicting Second Language Writing Proficiency: The Roles of Cohesion and Linguistic Sophistication (2012, methodology): “Those reported by Coh-Metrix include MTLD (McCarthy, 2005; McCarthy & Jarvis, in press) and D (Malvern, Richards, Chipere & Duran, 2004; McCarthy & Jarvis, 2007) values.”
Coh-Metrix (2011, background): “The most well-known lexical diversity index is type-token ratio , but a number of analogous measures are included in Coh-Metrix that control for text length (McCarthy & Jarvis, 2007).”
Linguistic Features of Writing Quality (2010, background): “Likewise, lexical diversity is indicative of the range of vocabulary available to a speaker or writer (McCarthy & Jarvis, 2007).”
Back to Basics: How Measures of Lexical Diversity Can Help Discriminate between CEFR Levels (2016, background): “…number of different words, the type-token-ratio and the Index of Guiraud (Guiraud 1954) explain more variance in the CEFR levels than sophisticated measures, such as D (Malvern et al. 2004), HD-D (McCarthy and Jarvis 2007) and MTLD (McCarthy 2005) provided text length is kept constant across texts.”
Psycholinguistic word information in second language oral discourse (2011, background): “Such findings, when combined with studies of surface based lexical features (Jarvis, 2002; Malvern et al., 2004; McCarthy and Jarvis, 2007) and depth of lexical knowledge (Crossley et al.”
MTLD, vocd-D, and HD-D: A validation study of sophisticated approaches to lexical diversity assessment (2010, methodology): “But McCarthy and Jarvis (2007) demonstrated that the vocd-D value is actually based on probabilities of word occurrence and that D serves no purposes except to convert the LD value into a new scale.”
The relationship between vocabulary and writing quality in three genres (2012, background): “…of text length; however, previous studies of written vocabulary continue to demonstrate strong relationships between text length and CTTR (e.g., McCarthy & Jarvis, 2007; Olinghouse & Leaird, 2009) due to a nonlinear relationship between types and tokens as text length increases (McCarthy &…”
Capturing the Diversity in Lexical Diversity. (2013, background): “…of researchers who have worked intensively on this problem, including in chronological order Guiraud (1954), Herdan (1964), Carroll (1967), Sichel (1975), Honor´e (1979), Sichel (1986), Tweedie and Baayen (1998), Jarvis (2002), Malvern et al. (2004), McCarthy and Jarvis (2007), and many others.”
