Call for Papers – Special Issue: Readability and Textual Complexity
The journal Langue(s) & Parole invites researchers to submit contributions for its special issue dedicated to readability and textual complexity. This issue aims to explore theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as practical applications, in a crucial area for analyzing reading skills and developing educational tools.
Theme of the Special Issue
The complexity and readability of texts are key research areas in assessing reading skills, particularly in diverse learning contexts. This special issue seeks to gather studies that combine linguistics, language technologies, and applied artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand and evaluate readability and textual complexity. In connection with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR; Council of Europe, 2020), submissions may include studies that aim to adapt textual complexity levels for readers with different proficiency levels (Cunningham & Mesmer, 2014).
