Syntactic Complexity
InterCorp release 16ud is annotated by several measures of syntactic complexity. They are specified as metadata for each sentence and each text, for each linguistically annotated language.
Measures for sentences
- maxNPLength
- maxNPDepth
- sLength: sentence length = no. of words in the sentence (punctuation excluded)
- subRatio: subordination ratio = (no. of T-units + no. of clauses) / no. of T-units
- maxTreeDepth: maximum number of clause embeddings (coordination does not count)
- mdd: mean dependency distance: average number of word boundaries between words and their heads
