Abstract: Computer and linguistics have never been as tightly related as they are today. Linguistic features like the syn-
tax rules and word frequency provide the computer with algorithmic rules while the computer outputs integrated precise and highly efficient data in return. The book, Automated Evaluation of Text and Discourse with Coh-Metrix, has demonstrated many applications of this online, descriptive, statistic analysis platform both in theory and practice. The first part of the book is an elaboration of the technological and theoretic support and experience grounds; the second part gives an detailed specifica-
tion concerning the writing of such empirical academic dissertations, guiding the readers to write academic articles using it as the research tool.
