They are specified as metadata for each sentence and each text, for each linguistically annotated language. In KonText, they can be displayed and queried like any other metadata items, such as text author or sentence ID. 
  
 In addition to syntactic complexity measures each text of sufficient length includes also two measures of **[[en:pojmy:lexikalni_bohatost|lexical diversity]]**.  In addition to syntactic complexity measures each text of sufficient length includes also two measures of **[[en:pojmy:lexikalni_bohatost|lexical diversity]]**.
