Lexical Complexity Controlled Sentence Generation
CoRR, 2022 Text generation rarely considers the control of lexical complexity, which limits its more comprehensive practical application. We introduce a novel task of lexical complexity controlled sentence generation, which aims at keywords to sentence generation with desired complexity levels.

Lexical complexity and fixation times in reading: Effects of word frequency, verb complexity, and lexical ambiguity [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1986 Two experiments investigated whether lexical complexity increases a word’s processing time. Subjects read sentences, each containing a target word, while their eye movements were monitored. In experiment 1, mean fixation time on infrequent words was longer than on their more frequent controls, as was the first fixation after the Infrequent Target ...

Computational complexity and lexical functional grammar [PDF]
Proceedings of the 19th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1981 An important goal of modern linguistic theory is to characterize as narrowly as possible the class of natural languages. One classical approach to this characterization has been to investigate the generative capacity of grammatical systems specifiable within particular linguistic theories. Formal results along these lines have already been obtained for
