Lexical Simplification is the process of reducing the lexical complexity of a text by replacing difficult words with easier to read
(or understand) expressions while preserving the original information and meaning. In this paper we introduce ALEXSIS, a
new dataset for this task, and we use ALEXSIS to benchmark Lexical Simplification systems in Spanish. The paper describes
