I have some different frequencies for the English language, from the Sonnets of one William Shakespeare.
In the English language, yes, the top words are frequent. This is because that language is analytical, not inflected, and has to rely on prepositions to qualify meaning. Words do not change their endings to reflect changes in case. The Sonnets list has mostly prepositions, and few nouns. Generally in languages top words are top because they have special necessity and meaning.
Now have a look at the top words for quire 2. Slightly different to those for quires 13 and 20. 20% of the quire 2 text is of eight words. So is the text in VMS in an analytical structure? Three natural languages? Three cyphers or codes? This is the baffling part.
Word frequencies - Sonnets
Cumulative word frequencies - quire 2
