Our goal is to create a model for the automatic assessment of Russian legal texts complexity. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to create a text collection; perform linguistic markup; highlight the parameters for measuring the complexity, oriented on the selected markup format. These steps are described in this paper. We briefly describe three corpora of modern Russian legal texts “CorRIDA”, “CorDes”, “CorCodex” with a total size of 8.5 million tokens. We justify the choice of linguistic markup tools (UDPipe, pymorphy2). Then we characterize the linguistic features of the complexity assessment, including: the simplest basic metrics; five readability formulas; parameters for assessing lexical complexity (TTR values, Yule’s K, the number of hapaxes, abbreviations, abstract words, etc.); parameters for assessing morphosyntactic and discursive complexity (Noun-Verb Ratio values; the number of grammemes of genitive, neuter, passive; relative sentences, appositive modifiers, lexical devices of discursive connectivity, etc.).

Linguistic complexity has generally been seen as influenced by ecological, demographic, and sociolinguistic factors and has been approached by seeking correlations of increased complexity along one linguistic dimension with one or another extralinguistic factor. Here we use a multidimensional definition of phonological complexity and analyze its global patterning quantitatively across predefined continents or sets of ...

Korney Chukovsky designated clericalism as the sole genuinely substantial malady afflicting the Russian language, and Nora Gal likened the style of official documentation to the consumption of "dry food". In recent decades, it has become increasingly challenging to discern the content of normative documents. This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, namely the proliferation ...

В статье обсуждается вопрос оценки трудности текстов, сопровождающих виртуальный тур по Главному музейному комплексу Государственного Эрмитажа. Методика оценки трудности, в отличие от сложности как более объективной, поддающейся параметризации характеристики текста, представляется открытым вопросом. В статье описываются результаты пилотного эксперимента, в котором информанты оценивали тексты, выделяя и комментируя фрагменты, вызывающие затруднения. Анализ показал, что наиболее частыми ...

The paper is devoted to the problem of modeling general-language frequency using data of large Russian corpora. Our goal is to develop a methodology for forming a consolidated frequency list which in the future can be used for assessing lexical complexity of Russian texts.
We compared 4 frequency lists developed from 4 corpora (Russian National Corpus, ...

The paper describes the metrics-based model for assessing complexity of Russian legal texts. The architecture of the model implies the use of 130 metrics divided into following categories: “basic metrics”, “readability formulas”, “words of different part-of-speech classes”, “n-grams of part-of-speech tags”, “frequency of lemmas”, “word-building patterns”, “grammes”, “lexical and semantic features, multi-word expressions”, “syntactic features”, ...

This article explores the word-formation dimension of learner text complexity which indicates how skilful the non-native speakers are in using more and less complex - and varied - derivational constructions. In order to analyse the association between complexity and writing accuracy in word formation as well as interactive effects of task type, text register, and ...

Introduction: the article describes the experience of assessing the readability of regulatory legal acts by analyzing the complexity of their syntactic constructions. According to the subjective perception, normative texts become more complicated from year to year, which makes it difficult to interpret them and understand the legal meaning. Purpose: to test this hypothesis based on ...

A cross-linguistic survey shows that languages with gender can have very high levels of morphological complexity, especially where gender is coexponential with case as in many Indo-European languages. If languages with gender are complex overall, apart from their gender, then gender can be regarded as an epiphenomenon of overall language complexity that tends to arise ...

Language change concerning various levels of linguistic description, such as vocabulary, semantics, and language etiquette, serves as a major research topic within this project. However, the description of language change is more valuable if we manage to discover its causes and propose an external interpretation of linguistic processes. For this reason, we study the dynamics ...
