This work evaluates the grammatical complexity of a set of 116 compositions, the task being proportionately distributed among students of the 4th and 8th grades, and those in the 2nd years of highschool, together with 160 texts from Portuguese, Science and Social Studies textbooks, correspounding to the same school levels. Grammatical complexity involves the aspects of lexical density and the degree of syntactic complexity which a text presents. The level of lexical density, according to Halliday's suggestion, is obtained from the ratio between the number of lexical items, with their own weights, and the total number of clauses in a text. Grammatical complexity is measured by the application of a sequence of formulae involving clause length...
