Vocabulary Sophistication Analyzer

Mesure la sophistication du vocabulaire : longueur moyenne des mots, pourcentage de mots rares, estimation CEFR et ratio mots courants/avancés.

Non conçu pour le Français

Cet outil a été calibré pour l'anglais (et quelques langues proches). Les résultats en Français risquent de ne pas être significatifs.

Quand l’utiliser

Use when writing for non-native readers, simplifying technical docs, or checking that marketing copy isn't accidentally academic.

Comparaison

Pairs with Dale-Chall (which scores familiarity directly) and lexical density (information packing). All three together describe vocabulary load comprehensively.

0 chars

Comment ça marche

Every word is bucketed as "everyday" (in the combined Dale-Chall + stopword list) or "advanced" (everything else).

CEFR estimate is derived from the advanced-word percentage: < 10% A1, < 20% A2, < 30% B1, < 45% B2, < 60% C1, else C2.

Jargon density is the percent of words ≥ 8 characters, a rough proxy for technical Latin/Greek-rooted vocabulary.

FAQ

What does the CEFR estimate mean?

CEFR levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) describe reader vocabulary thresholds for non-native English learners. Higher = more advanced vocabulary load.

How are "everyday" words decided?

We use a combined list of English stopwords and the Dale-Chall 3,000 most familiar words. Anything outside is treated as advanced.

Is more sophisticated vocabulary better?

Not always. Audience-appropriate vocabulary beats clever-sounding vocabulary every time.

Exemple concret

Entrée

The municipal infrastructure necessitates comprehensive remediation prior to subsequent occupancy.

Sortie

78% advanced — CEFR ~C2.

Seven of nine words fall outside the everyday vocabulary list, including Latin-rooted terms ("municipal", "necessitates", "remediation"). Average word length is over 9 characters.

Pièges courants

  • Domain-specific everyday words ("API", "DNS") count as advanced.
  • Proper nouns inflate the advanced bucket.
  • CEFR estimate is approximate — official CEFR alignment requires vocabulary lists per level.
