전기전자분야의 기술 어휘 분석 연구

Abstract

In this article, we analyze the vocabulary of The Journal of the Japan Institute of Electronics Packaging, an academic journal in the field of electrical and electronic research, with special referent to parts-of-speech as well as kinds of words in the vocabulary. The results are as follows. Firstly, nouns are most frequently used, followed by verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in this order. Secondly, the five nouns which are most frequently used are gijutsu ‘technology,’ kiban ‘circuit bord,’ buhin ‘part,’ jissou ‘implementation,’ and kenkyuu ‘study.’ This is expected given that we analyzed the journal in the field of electric and electrical research. Other frequent words are also technical terms in the field. Furthermore, unlike adjectives and adverbs, a wide range of nouns is concurrent with verbs. Thirdly, the frequently used verbs are unrelated to technical terms, such as mochiiru ‘use,’ shimesu ‘suggest,’ dekiru ‘can do,’ okonau ‘do,’ kangaeru ‘think,’ motomeru ‘require,’ eru ‘obtain,’ hukumu ‘include,’ and kotonaru ‘differ.’ Similarly, the frequently used adjectives and adverbs are not technical terms but logical words which are utilized to compare experimental results or reveal causes and effects relating to inferences and experiments. Fourthly, “kango” or Chinese- origin loanwords are used most frequently, followed by “gairaigo” Western-origin loanwords. These contrast with Japanese-native words and mixed types of words, which are used markedly less frequently. Fifthly, various kinds of words are detected, such as Japanese-native common words noated in kanji, “kango,” “gairaigo,” and mixed-type technical terms. The light verb suru ‘do’ is not combined with native- origin technical terms. In future research, we would like to present the list of technical terms in a Korean-Japanese contrastive manner, excluding the technical terms surveyed in this work and general terms.
