Zusammenfassung:Based on an analysis of the separate categories making up Flesch's count of "definite words," a formula for estimating abstraction in writing, derived in part from the Flesch abstraction formula, was devised. The multiple R between the Flesch formula score and the elements of the new formula is .82. Abstraction score ranges are given.
