Hi everyone. I love the Advanced Text Analysis tool.

Is there something similar that detects archaic sentence structures and archaic grammatical/syntax structures?

"Readability" is one metric. But are there standard measures for "comprehension"?

Eg. while the readability scores for a chapter of an old King James Bible may say the text is simply enough for a Fifth Grade student, there is no way that most people today could comprehend what is written because sentence structures and meanings of words have changed so much.
