[Corpora-List] Difference in POS tag distribution in different genres

[Karin Cavallin]

Does anyone know of any study of the difference in (and an analysis of the reasons) part-of-speech tag distribution in different genres? A quick study I made yesterday showed e.g. that my working hypothesis that there are more proper nouns in news paper text than in fiction was correct, at least on the data I examined.
