A Corpus-Based Readability Formula for Estimate of Arabic Texts Reading Difficulty

The present study is aimed at designing a formula for estimating the difficulty of reading Arabic texts. Flesch, Gunning Fox and Dale-Chall are some of the formulae that have been used for measuring English texts difficulty. Some of them have been automated making it easy for users to check the read...
