Proceedings of the Twelfth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference

Linguistic complexity research being a very actively developing field, an increasing number of text analysis tools are created that use natural language processing techniques for the automatic extraction of quantifiable measures of linguistic complexity. While most tools are designed to analyse only one language, the CTAP open source linguistic complexity measurement tool is capable of processing multiple languages, making cross-lingual comparisons possible. Although it was originally developed for English, the architecture has been ex-tended to support multi-lingual analyses. Here we present the Italian component of CTAP, describe its implementation and compare it to the existing linguistic complexity tools for Italian. Offering general text length statistics and features for lexical, syntactic, and morpho-syntactic complexity (including measures of lexical frequency, lexical diversity, lexical and syntactical variation, part-of-speech density), CTAP is currently the most comprehensive linguistic complexity measurement tool for Italian and the only one allowing the comparison of Italian texts to multiple other languages within one tool.
