The Case for Combining Lexical and Morphological Text Profiling: A Response to Cobb
Tim Stoeckel; Stuart McLean
Reading in a Foreign Language, v34 n1 p172-183 Apr 2022
We are encouraged by Cobb's (2022) description of changes to the Morpholex profiling tool (https://www.lextutor.ca/cgi-bin/morpho/lex/) resulting in more accurate word classifications. This addresses one point in our recent commentary on Morpholex and on Laufer and Cobb's (2020) study using Morpholex (McLean & Stoeckel, 2021). However, Cobb seems to have overlooked or misunderstood some of our other concerns. In this response, we further clarify these issues and suggest three ways morphological text profiling might be improved. We then offer a partial replication of Laufer and Cobb's study to illustrate how those suggestions impact findings. [For Cobb's 2022 article, "Counting Affixes with Morpholex: A Response to McLean and Stoeckel (2021)," see EJ1343428.]
