Any linguist here that can tell me how many of each word gramatical function are there in literary text?
Like how many verbs, nouns, adjectives, particles, conjunctions, interjections are in a literary text.
I have the suspiction 90% of all the words in a literary text are nouns.
I'm guesing the amount of verbs used in literary text to be around 500-800.
The amount of adjectives around 250.
The amount of adverbs around 150.
The amount of conjunctions to be like 70.
And so on.
To me nouns would be 90% of a literary text.
But my data is totally a made up guess.
Would appreciate any paper on this with some realistic numbers.
