Lexicon and Syntax: Complexity across Genres and Language Varieties

English. This paper presents first results of an ongoing work to investigate the interplay between lexical complexity and syntactic complexity with respect to nominal lexicon and how it is affected by textual genre and level of linguistic complexity within genre. A cross-genre analysis is carried out for the Italian language using multi–leveled linguistic features automatically extracted from dependency parsed corpora. Italiano. Questo articolo presenta i primi risultati di un lavoro in corso volto a indagare la relazione tra complessità lessicale e complessità sintattica rispetto al lessico nominale e in che modo sia influenzata dal genere testuale e dal livello di complessità linguistica interno al genere. Un’analisi comparativa su più generi è condotta per la lingua italiana usando caratteristiche linguistiche multilivello estratte automaticamente da corpora annotati fino alla sintassi a dipen-
