Statistical Charateristics for Korean Texts

In this paper, the occurrence frequencies for three kinds of phonemes, syllables and words in ordinary Korean text are investigated from a corpus of over 800,000 words. The six most frequent chosungs, jungsungs and jongsungs account for 70%, 80% and 90% of the corresponding phoneme occurrences, respectively. The number of syllables occurred in text is 1.705, which is about 15% of all possible syllables in mordem Korean. The 315 most frequent syllables account for 90% of all syllable occurrences. The 10 and 20 most frequent wods account for 4.4% and 6.6% of all word occurrences. While the average word length for distinct words is 3.88, the average length of word occurrences is 2.88.
