What counts as a content word?
Content words are nouns, main verbs, adjectives, and adverbs that carry meaning, while function words are articles, prepositions, conjunctions, pronouns, and auxiliary verbs. Lexical density is the share of content words in the total.
Does high lexical density mean better writing?
No. High density signals information-packed, formal text but can be harder to read, while lower density with more function words often flows more naturally in speech and conversational writing. Aim for a level that suits your audience, not the highest number.
