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

[Michal Ptaszynski]

Hi Karin,

I've recently published a work on developing a Japanese blog corpus. One  
part of this work consists of comparison between POS distributions among  
different sizes (small, medium, large) but similar genres/language, and  
comparable sizes, but different languages (Japanese, British English,  
Italian). *-->

Interestingly, the paper was once rejected, with one of the reasons being  
that comparison of POS distributions is "meaningless" and a "waste of  
time". I'm happy, that at least some people think it is not.

Best,

Michal

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

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.
