Crossley, Scott A.; Greenfield, Jerry; McNamara, Danielle S. – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2008
Many programs designed to compute the readability of texts are narrowly based on surface-level linguistic features and take too little account of the processes which a reader brings to the text. This study is an exploratory examination of the use of Coh-Metrix, a computational tool that measures cohesion and text difficulty at various levels of…

Effects of Frequency of Presentation and Stimulus Length on Retention in the Brown Peterson Paradigm
Fuchs, Alfred H.; Melton, Arthur W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The principal objective of this research was to examine the interelations of degree of learning, length of to-be-remembered (TBR) units, and retention interval, with particular reference to the concept of "intraunit interference". (Author/RK)

Peer reviewedScheuermann, Ulrich – Zeitschrift fur Dialektologie und Linguistik. Beihefte Neue Folge, 1974
As a consequence of research in machine translation, several related applications of Electronic Data Processing have developed in linguistics and literature. A survey of this development is followed by an exposition of the process necessary for setting up an automatic lexicon. (TL)

Sakiey, Elizabeth – 1980
In contrast to research and application of word frequency counts, there has been little or no use of syllable frequency counts. The few syllable counts that have been conducted are not well known, not often used, and not easily obtained. This is unfortunate, because a publicized, easily obtainable, computer syllable analysis would have numerous…

THE HYPOTHESIS THAT WHEN ASSOCIATED PAIRS OF WORDS ARE PRESENTED, SPEED OF RECOGNITION WILL BE FASTER THAN WHEN NONASSOCIATED WORD PAIRS ARE PRESENTED OR WHEN A TARGET WORD IS PRESENTED BY ITSELF WAS TESTED. TWENTY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, INITIALLY SCREENED FOR VISION, WERE ASSIGNED RANDOMLY TO ROWS OF A 5 X 5 REPEATED-MEASURES LATIN SQUARE DESIGN.…

Durr, William K. – 1970
Word frequency was determined for library books that primary-grade children selected for free reading. A survey of librarians determined which books these children selected. This list was reduced to 80 books through evaluations by elementary school teachers. A computer analysis of each word in these books revealed 105,280 running words. When…

Bass, Bernard M.; And Others – 1973
Magnitude estimation was employed to find the numerical equivalents of 39 expressions of frequency ranging from never to always, and 44 expressions of amount ranging from none to all. The results were generalizable across three age-education-occupation levels and unaffected by whether ratings were an important or unimportant issue. Geometric means…
