Would anybody out there know where I could get hold of a table of
the relative distributions of use of acccented characters in French.
I have a collection of French newspapers and can (and have) simply
counted these but I suspect the use of accented characters in this
source is less than it should be as accented characters are being dropped
for their unaccented equivalents. I'd like to measure this if possible.
Replies to me and I'll post a summary, thanks.
