Comment Mesurer La Lisibilite (How to Measure Readability).
Henry, Georges
This book is conceived as a definitive expose and practitioner's manual of readability measurement, with special reference to French language readability. Proceeding from a detailed outline of research on readability from 1923 to the present, the book confronts such issues as external criteria used for validation of readability formulas, choice of linguistic variables in test construction, treatment of experimental results, how formulas are applied, and the range of their application. Seven appendices provide lists, tables and formulas necessary for calculating readability. (DB)
