<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would greatly appreciate information on updated
literature regarding corpus analysis indicators and formulae for readability
purposes. In other words, new formulae, statistics and mesurements
for pointing out difficulty levels in comprehension and production of
discourse. Our project is particularly concerned with children's oral use of
discourse when describing certain situations, thus we seek to establish
well-defined indicators for measuring their performance of lexical data and
structures. One example is useability of lexis according to specific contexts:
measuring the use of that word by a learner within that situation vs. other
learners in other situations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would greatly appreciate any guidance and
orientations in the current state of corpus
linguistics
