Readability Formulae and the Structure of Text.
Chambers, F.
Educational Review, v35 n1 p3-13 Feb 1983

However, the representation of text through information structures is equally important. The complexity of information structures and their realizations will affect reading difficulty and should be incorporated into formulas. (SK)
