The formula to calculate the Average Syllables Per Word (ASPW) is:
\[ \text{ASPW} = \frac{\text{TS}}{\text{TW}} \]
Where:
The average syllables per word is a measure used to determine the complexity of a text. It is calculated by dividing the total number of syllables by the total number of words in the text. This metric is often used in readability tests to assess how easy or difficult a text is to read. A higher average syllables per word indicates a more complex text, while a lower average suggests simpler language.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Average Syllables Per Word (ASPW):
\[ \text{ASPW} = \frac{1200}{800} = 1.50 \text{ syllables per word} \]
The Average Syllables Per Word (ASPW) is 1.50.
