A research on quality evaluation of lexical cohesion based on Sugeno measure

Abstract

In light of the six lexical cohesive ties that do not necessarily satisfy the additive situation, a new method is proposed to evaluate lexical cohesion based on Sugeno measure. The evaluation indexes are classified anew and weight parameters are given by experts. Then Sugeno measure is applied to integrate them. The experimental results show that the integrated results are significantly correlated with teachers' scoring of the compositions, which indicates the effective and comprehensive quality evaluation of lexical cohesion in English writing.
