Is there a frequency of the use of different parts of speech in English?
I am wondering if there has been any research on the statistical frequency of the different parts of speech. I'm looking for something like "20% nouns, 13% verbs, 10% adjectives, 11% prepositions, 5% pronouns, 13% articles, 6% conjunctions, 14% interjections, 8% adverbs".
I am using the word statistical because this would clearly not apply exactly to every passage of text. However, this is just general.
There are tables of frequency according to parts of speech in the Lancaster frequency lists:
