일본 IT분야 어휘분석연구 - 『基本情報技術者試験』의 10년간 기출문제를 중심으로 -

Abstract

We analyzed the vocabulary from “qualification exam for basic IT engineers” in the past 10 years to widen the learners’ opportunities to work in IT fields and enhance their ability. We analyzed nouns, verbs, na-adjectives, i-adjectives, and adverbs, surveying their frequencies and classifying them in terms of word type. We also examined whether they are included in the list set out in “Survey of the Basic Vocabulary for the Education of Japanese Language,” developed by NINJAL. First, the most frequent type is noun, followed by verb, na-adjective, i-adjective, and adverb. Second, in the noun domain, the order is: kanji-words, loanwords, native words, and hybrid words. As our survey targets the vocabulary of IT exams, it is conceivable that loanwords are considerably frequent, and native words are not. Thirdly, as for verbs and i-adjectives, we only examined native words. Fourthly, we confirm that most loanwords do not appear in the vocabulary list. Effective methods are essential for studying technical terms. We suggest that the learning of technical terms in order of frequency will lead the learners to enhance their abilities to obtain a job in Japan and conduct work there.
