Abstract

This paper provides a new method to analyze the discrimination of CET-4 writing test, an algorithm based on Sugeno measure. Lexical richness including lexical variation, lexical sophistication and lexical errors is selected as evaluation index, and weight parameters are given by experts. Then Sugeno measure is used to integrate them. The experimental results have shown that the integrated results are significantly correlated to scores of range finder sample compositions, which indicates the high discrimination of CET-4 writing test.
