[NLP] Basics: Measuring The Linguistic Complexity of Text

<p>Determining the linguistic complexity of text is one of the first basic steps you learn in natural language processing. In this article, I take you through what linguistic complexity is and how to measure it.</p> <h1>The pre-processing steps</h1> <p>First, you need to proceed with the tokenisation of your corpora.
