일본어 의료어휘 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to select and present vocabulary materials, which are the most basic tasks for medical professionals who come in contact with medical tourists to learn the words they need on the ground, and to select and present key vocabulary materials that must be learned preferentially beyond simple vocabulary lists. In the vocabulary of medical articles of the Yomiuri Newspaper of Japan published last year, we decided to analyze only nouns which seem to be directly related to actual medical vocabulary selections, excluding person and geographical names. Therefore, we select the main vocabulary so that it reflects the order of importance on the basis of the frequency of each noun for the general nouns, the surgical nouns, the hiragana nouns and the one-character kanji nouns which are the subjects of this research. The selected vocabulary is again classified into the medical vocabulary and the general vocabulary, and the vocabulary of the main medical field is ultimately selected and presented.
