Abstract

This article is to clarify the socio-cultural characteristics of textbooks in both countries through vocabulary analysis of 1st to 3rd grades national language textbooks used in Korea and Japan in 2023. Based on the categorization of 分類語彙表(Vocabulary classification table)(1964), out of 43 medium categories, in Korean textbooks, there were significant differences in 12 items, including most items belonging to <1.2 principal agent of human activity>, <clothing> and <foodstuff>. On the other hand, in Japan, there were significant differences in ８ items, including <animal>, <living organism>, <quantity>, and <creation ․writing>. According to small categories of medium categories that showed significant differences, in Korea, in person, occupations, friends, family members, relatives, reward and punishment, clothing, and ornaments in Korea. On the other hand, there were significant differences in Japan, especially in numbers, temporary status, parents and antecedents, art, literature, etc. Finally, we can positively view that there was no significant difference in the chief, social status, national people, monarch, and social class categories in Korean textbooks. It is probably because of a substantial reduction in the fable, and the introduction of works that shine with rich creativity both domestically and abroad. However, compared to Japan, there are more evaluative names for people. However, abusing the word "friend," the lack of diversity in occupations, and the heavy use of vocabulary related to appearance need further discussion.
