A lexical simplification is one of the important techniques for leaners of second languages. In this paper, we propose a simple reproducible judgment method for lexical simplification without using probabilistic model. In addition, our proposed method can simplify vocabularies to easier vocabularies at a significant advantage to previous researches.
