Abstract
Readability analysis combines statistical modeling, theoretical linguistics, and psychological theory to determine the accessibility level of writing samples. This study has a long history and broad impact, yet typically uses extremely simple statistical tools (in particular linear regressions). This article briefly reviews key stages in the history of readability, and discusses present issues and potential future benefits these tools offer.
