TY - JOUR ID - 2413138 AU - Williams, Christopher PY - 2023 TI - Lexical complexity measures as indicators of essay quality PB - Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Education University of Hradec Králové CY - Hradec Králové KW - lexical complexity KW - writing proficiency UR - https://pdf.uhk.cz/hkjas/pi/pi_10-1-2023.php N2 - This study explores how the results of lexical complexity measures can be used to indicate quality in argumentative essays written by L1-Czech L2-English high school students. Final-year students (n=104) from three local high schools participated in this study. The essays were manually graded to give a vocabulary score and automatically analysed for lexical features of density, sophistication, and variation using the Lexical Complexity Analyser developed by Haiyang and Lu (2010) and Lu (2012). The results indicated a strong correlation between the indices used and essay quality, verb-based measurements in particular. The study contributes towards understanding the connection between lexical complexity and quality in L2 argumentative essays. ER -
