[Corpora-List] Frequency of pepositions

[Janne Bondi Johannessen]

You could read the book The Authorship of The Quiet Don (1984) by the
late Professor Geir Kjetsaa. His team used statistical methods
(basically counting various items) to show that Mikhail Sholokhov was
indeed the author of the book And Quiet Flows the Don.

> Dear colleahues, usually it is possible to find out if two texts are different if some certain linguistic units are used there with different frequencies. Is it possible to differentiate two texts basing on the frequency of occurrence of preposions: on, in, at, under, over, etc. Has many articles been published on the use of prepositions as features? Looking forward to hearing from you to yutamb at mail.ru  Yours sincerely Yuri Tambovtsev, Novosibirsk, Russia
