Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between part-of-speech (POS) profiles and surface-complexity-based readability levels in Turkish texts. These levels are derived solely from a surface-based proxy complexity score rather than from expert human readability judgments. Twenty-seven POS-based features were extracted from a corpus of 19,779 sentences annotated with 14 POS tags by three annotators with high inter-annotator agreement (Fleiss kappa: 0.84). Kruskal-Wallis tests showed that 25 of 27 features significantly differ across readability levels. The most discriminative features were noun-verb ratio, POS bigram diversity, and noun ratio. A POS-only model achieved 35 percent macro-F1 in five-class classification, well above random baseline. Results demonstrate that Turkish sentence-level complexity correlates meaningfully with POS composition and sequential structure beyond mere length measures.
Abstract This study investigates whether English complex sentences can serve as reliable proxies for the overall linguistic complexity of the texts in which they appear. Focusing on both lexical and syntactic complexity, we analyze a dependency-annotated version of the Brown Corpus (1 million words, 15 genres), compari...
This work quantifies the interaction between prosodic features and syntactic representations as their mutual information, and provides a general-purpose framework for estimating this quantity over large speech-text corpora using multimodal language models.

A small-scale quantitative experiment that links syntactic structure to stylistic functions in narrative prose using a dependency-parsed corpus of 3,300 sentences using a transparent rule-based procedure that inspects lemmas, universal part-of-speech tags, and syntactic relations.
SLITE is presented, an explainable hybrid model for Recognizing Textual Entailment that integrates two complementary layers of semantic analysis: a structural-relational layer, based on semantic compatibility and incompatibility between compositional entities, and a distributional-informational layer, based on structur...

This report answers that for the Objective Projection corpus, a Turkish narrative dataset whose scenes carry a per-scene applied_rules field from a rule-based detector over six craft features -- two prohibitions (emotion labelling, simile) and four positive techniques (materialized metaphor, micro-focus, temporal ancho...
This study introduces K-text, a website designed to measure Korean language proficiency from second language writing and speech data through 20 complexity, accuracy, and fluency indices using natural language processing. A key advantage of K-text is its ability to measure accuracy and fluency in addition to complexit...
