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

[Angus Grieve-Smith]

I just got a chance to read Andrew's paper, which covers a lot of the 
same ground that I did in my 2006 paper. "The broader point that this 
exploration of the use of POS ratios as tools for corpus analysis has 
hopefully demonstrated is that corpus annotations — such as 
part-of-speech tagging — cannot be treated simplistically." Yep, that's 
about it!
