Citazioni | The complexity of written language is a lexical complexity; written language attains a high level density (that is, it has a greater number of lexical items per clause, and the lexical items have a higher information content), often accompanied by a relatively simple grammatical structure [...] Metaphorical ʻcomplexityʼ is typically that of written language. |
