The analysis of the parts of speech in the corpus reveals a large number of proper nouns. This is an artifact of the type of text found in TOEIC as the algorithmto identify proper nouns in text does not work as well with the item format favored by TOEIC. The parts of speech frequency can be broken down as follows:
Functors630,147 40.39%
Lexeme732,950 46.98%
Polyword2,388 0.15%
ProperNoun194,709 12.48%
Total1,560,194
This compares to the original corpus:
Functors424,067 41.26%
Lexeme498,079 48.46%
Polyword1,781 0.17%
ProperNoun103,849 10.10%
Total1,027,776
