swe-readability-sparv-lix

LIX (läsbarhetsindex) (Björnsson (1968)) is a readability measure based on average word count per sentence and ratio of long words (exceeding six letters). The value is calculated as O / M + L x 100 / O, where O = word count, M = sentence count and L = long word count.

This analysis is used with Sparv. Check out Sparv's quick start guide to get started!

To use this analysis, add the following line under export.annotations in the Sparv corpus configuration file:

- <text>:readability.lix  # LIX values for text chunks

For more info on how to use Sparv, check out the Sparv documentation.
