TAACO: Tool for the Automatic analysis of Cohesion
TAACO is an easy to use tool that calculates 150 indices of both local and global cohesion, including a number of type-token ratio indices (including specific parts of speech, lemmas, bigrams, trigrams and more), adjacent overlap indices (at both the sentence and paragraph level), and connectives indices.
TAACO takes plain text files as input (it will process all plain text files in a particular folder) and produces a comma separated values (.csv) spreadsheet that is easily read by any spreadsheet software.
