Common One-Word Sentences in French, Revisited

I’ve been playing with my scripts lately, filtering French. Previously I have published a list of the top one-word sentences in a corpus of French classic texts, as well as my lists of very easy extracts, based on the language repertoire covered by my Gnomeville comics. Today, while waiting for my very inefficient scripts to finish processing my old download of the French texts from Project Gutenberg, I revisited the frequent one-word sentences. I decided to keep the exclamation marks and question marks this time, so it is clear whether something is being used as a question or not. Here is what is coming up so far…

Ah !Oh !Eh !Hélas !Oui.Non !Non.Oui !Comment !Quoi !Bah !. (most likely names of characters in a play, the first one being Bonaparte.)Pourquoi ?Bon !etc. (probably an artifact of how things were processed)Allons !Ha !Tiens !Hé !Moi.

There’s quite a bit in common with the previous list of one-word sentences. The exclamations that showed in the previous list (Diable ! Parbleu !) still occur in the top 30, so there isn’t a lot of change despite the much larger corpus. I suspect further changes to be quite minor as the processed corpus grows.
