The project will centre around two main objectives: (1) test empirically whether reliable human judgments of phraseological complexity are attainable (both at the level of multi-word units and at the text level); (2) explore the degree to which various automated measures of phraseological complexity align with human judgments of phraseological complexity, which is to be understood as our \u2018gold standard\u2019 to assess construct validity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about phraseological complexity, the method of Comparative Judgment and the use of human judgments to validate constructs, see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kyle, K., Crossley, S.
