Abstract:

In this talk I explore whether using quantitative targets, notably readability formulae, is a reasonable thing to do when paraphrasing text. The talk covers roughly:

• what readability formulae are;
• their use in editing generally;
• their use in a computational editing system (in particular, the one I'm going to do).
