본 논문에서는 7차 교육과정 고등학교 35종의 영어교과서의 읽기 부분을 코퍼스로 구축한 자료에서 20개의 동의어군의 단어들의 빈도 패턴을 조사하고, 그 결과를 Longman Dictionary of Contemporary(LDOCE)에 제시된 원어민 코퍼스인 British National Corpus와 Longman Lancaster Corpus 분석 결과인 문어ㆍ구어에 따른 빈도 패턴과 비교 분석함으로써 교과서의 진정성 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같았다. 첫째, 조사 대상 가운데 11개의 동의어군은 출현 횟수에 있어 차이는 보이지만 전체적인 빈도 패턴, 즉 빈도 순위와 사용 비율에 있어 대체로 원어민 코퍼스의 문어의 빈도 패턴과 유사함을 보여주었다. 둘째, 6개의 동의어군은 교과서에서 빈도 순위가 원어민 코퍼스의 구어의 빈도 순위와 동일하였다. 하지만 이들 가운데 3개의 동의어군은 빈도 비율에 있어서 원어민 코퍼스의 구어보다는 문어에 좀 더 유사한 패턴을 보여 준 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로 3개의 동의어군은 교과서에서 쓰임이 빈도 순위에 있어서 일치 하지 않았을 뿐 만 아니라, 경우에 따라서는 출현 토큰 수에 있어서도 많은 차이를 보여주었다. 세 부류의 동의어군 가운데 마지막 경우는 특히 교재를 사용하는 학습자의 동의어의 분포 및 사용에 관한 학습에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 가능성이 가장 크다고 여겨진다.
Abstract
The goals of this paper are to provide the frequency distribution of 20 groups of synonymous words in the 35 high school English Textbooks and to compare the results with those in the British National Corpus (BNC) and Longman Lancaster Corpus (LLC) given in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE). The comparison mainly focuses on frequency distribution pattern across spoken and written registers. For this study, the reading parts of the textbooks computerized as a corpus and the concordance listings generated by WordSmith Tools 4.0 (Scott, 2004) are analyzed. Analyzing the data gives us the following results. First, the frequency distributions of 11 groups of the synonyms are mostly matched with those of the written register in the BNC/LLC. Second, 6 groups of the synonyms display the same frequency ranking as that of the spoken register in the BNC/LLC. Given the relative proportion of use, however, half of the groups indicate the pattern that is more similar to that of the written register in the BNC/LLC. Finally, the remaining 3 groups demonstrate the frequency distribution different from that of the BNC/LLC. Both the ranking in the frequency and the relative proportion of the use do not coincide with those of the BNC/LLC. Each register the native speakers distinguish has its own preferred word(s) in the group of the synonyms. Given this fact and the results of this study, it can be concluded that for more effective learning of synonyms, the actual use patterns of native speakers across registers need to be reflected in the textbooks.
