The recent conspicuous development of computer technology has popularized corpus linguistics approaches in vocabulary research. Corpus analysis can provide us with valuable information about texts such as frequency and distribution of vocabulary in the texts. The purpose of this study is to analyze vocabularies that are used in the revised Middle School English 1 textbooks. This study constructed a corpus of 25 different textbooks, consisting of 307,454 words. By use of corpus analysis, the study examined frequency and distribution of the words, type/token ratio (TTR), and high-frequency words in comparison with the previous English textbooks and British National Corpus. It also investigated the use of words in the National Curriculum’s basic word list. The results revealed that while the number of types and tokens increased in the revised textbooks, the TTR dropped, indicating that words are recycled more and it can make the text easier for students. Also, many computer and technology related words are newly introduced, and the increased diversity in the names of overseas regions seems to reflect the expanded role of English as an international language. On the other hand, there arises a concern about the basic word list in the National Curriculum and its regulation of numbers of vocabulary.
Abstract
The recent conspicuous development of computer technology has popularized corpus linguistics approaches in vocabulary research. Corpus analysis can provide us with valuable information about texts such as frequency and distribution of vocabulary in the texts. The purpose of this study is to analyze vocabularies that are used in the revised Middle School English 1 textbooks. This study constructed a corpus of 25 different textbooks, consisting of 307,454 words. By use of corpus analysis, the study examined frequency and distribution of the words, type/token ratio (TTR), and high-frequency words in comparison with the previous English textbooks and British National Corpus. It also investigated the use of words in the National Curriculum’s basic word list. The results revealed that while the number of types and tokens increased in the revised textbooks, the TTR dropped, indicating that words are recycled more and it can make the text easier for students. Also, many computer and technology related words are newly introduced, and the increased diversity in the names of overseas regions seems to reflect the expanded role of English as an international language. On the other hand, there arises a concern about the basic word list in the National Curriculum and its regulation of numbers of vocabulary.
