Methodology for determining the informativity of Lithuanian texts

Abstract

This paper discusses research on Lithuanian texts of different styles for the development of the methodology for determining the informativity of Lithuanian texts. Research is based on the hypothesis that the informativity of texts can be measured by the weighted average of characteristics of individual levels, i.e. their lexical density and syntactic complexity. This research is an initial attempt to develop and, at the same time, test such methodology for Lithuanian language. The results of the research showed that the methodology developed and applied for determining the informativity of texts allows determining differences of the informativity of texts of different styles and is applicable to the Lithuanian language
