Automated evaluation of text and discourse with Coh-Metrix

Coh-Metrix is among the broadest and most sophisticated automated textual assessment tools available today.

Automated Evaluation of Text and Discourse with Coh-Metrix describes this computational tool, as well as the wide range of language and discourse measures it provides.

Part I of the book focuses on the theoretical perspectives that led to the development of Coh-Metrix, its measures, and empirical work that has been conducted using this approach.

Part II shifts to the practical arena, describing how to use Coh-Metrix and how to analyze, interpret, and describe results.

Coh-Metrix opens the door to a new paradigm of research that coordinates studies of language, corpus analysis, computational linguistics, education, and cognitive science.

This tool empowers anyone with an interest in text to pursue a wide array of previously unanswerable research questions.
