In this paper, we consider part‐of‐speech‐wise and word‐type‐wise aspects of the usage of the programming‐related vocabulary in the field of IT. The results are summed up as follows. Firstly, it is revealed that nouns are most frequently used in the data, followed by verbs, na‐adjectives, and i‐adjectives. Secondly, the most frequently attested types of noun is the noun which consists of more than two characters and the sa‐conjugated noun; another notable type of noun in this regard is the noun notated in Roman alphabets. It is indicated that programming‐related technical terms tend to be used frequently. More precisely, the most frequently attested 266 nouns account for 70.59% of the whole set of the attested nouns. Thirdly, the most frequently used verb is suru, which seems to have something to do with the frequent use of sa‐conjugated nouns. The most frequently attested 45 verbs account for 82.76% of the whole set of the attested verbs. Fourthly, the most frequently used na‐adjective is hitsuyou, and the most frequently attested 39 na‐adjectives account for 78.90% of the whole set of the attested na‐adjectives. Fifthly, the most frequently used i‐adjective is nai, and the most frequently attested 21 i‐adjectives account for 90.43% of the whole set of the attested i‐adjectives. Finally, a word‐type consideration reveals that the most frequently used type of word is kango, followed by gairaigo, wago, Roman‐alphabet‐notated words, and konshugo. In the case of the most frequently attested 10 nouns, programming‐related technical terms are detected more in gairaigo and Roman‐alphabet‐notated words than in wago and konshugo. On the other hand, in the case of na‐adjectives, kango accounts for more than 70% of the whole set, followed by wago, gairaigo, and konshugo.
