Utilization of Dependency Type per Sentence to Identify Differences among Genres of English Texts

摘要

This study utilized the concept of type per sentence (TPS) with regards to dependency types to identify differences among genres of English texts obtained from an English language corpus. This study also attempted to suggest that TPSs can indicate some of the differences between different genres of texts. TPSs can be used as metrics to indicate how certain genres of texts are more likely to contain certain dependency types compared to others, and the higher TPSs of some dependency types can be shown to be related to higher TPSs of other dependency types.
