Readability: Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level

This is just a convenient wrapper function for readability.

flesch.kincaid(
  txt.file,
  hyphen = NULL,
  parameters = c(asl = 0.39, asw = 11.8, const = 15.59),
  ...
)

Arguments

• txt.file: Either an object of class kRp.text, a character vector which must be be a valid path to a file containing the text to be analyzed, or a list of text features. If the latter, calculation is done by readability.num.
• hyphen: An object of class kRp.hyphen. If NULL, the text will be hyphenated automatically.
• parameters: A numeric vector with named magic numbers, defining the relevant parameters for the index.
• ...: Further valid options for the main function, see readability for details.

Details

Calculates the Flesch-Kincaid grade level. In contrast to readability, which by default calculates all possible indices, this function will only calculate the index value.
