- Abstract
Text grading is beneficial to compile, recommend and evaluate the textbook, etc. Therefore, the measure of difficulty level of texts has received considerable attentions from researchers. In this paper, the static difficulty of units of language and knowledge, like Chinese-characters and words or phrases, which we named it as "potential", and the dynamic combined difficulty, like the usage of Chinese-character Continuations and word Continuations, which we named it as "state", the two type measurements were researched in Chinese text. With our studies of metrological analysis, evidences and data, the results suggested that (i) in the “potential” measurement, the amount of word type shows statistical reliability; (ii) in the "state" measurement, the Chinese-character Continuation is better than the word Continuation and the two-Chinese-character Continuation is better than the other length Chinese-character Continuation in the comprehensive performance for measuring the language difficulty level of Chinese text; (iii) the Chinese-character Continuation could break the encapsulation of word, and to a considerable extent, shows the difficulty of combination, semantic and logical relations of language expression. As a result, the Chinese-character Continuation has high statistical reliability for measuring the complexity of Chinese text.
