Readability modelling and comparison of one and two parametric fit: A case study in Bangla*
Sreerupa Das, Rajkumar Roychoudhury · Journal of Quantitative Linguistics · 2006
This paper deals with an interesting problem in computational linguistics namely “readability of texts”. A piece of text appears to be easy or difficult depending on certain parameters involved within the text pattern. Based on these parameters, several readability indices have been developed; namely Flesch reading ease, Fog index, Flesch – Kincaid formula, and so on. Our paper deals with the construction of a miniature model or readability index for Bangla documents, using textbooks. We take into consideration parameters such as average sentence length, number of syllables per 100 words, and so on.
