Annotation
This study proposes a texture index that could be easily and reliably employed to explore texts – in particular those of developing writers – as an aid, among others, in enhancing readability in education and business contexts. It is argued that the index's six indexicals reflect those texture elements perceived of as vital by interpreters.
