II.3.13 High School Textbooks Concordance of
Vocabulary with Context
(Language Processing Data Source 1, 1985. microfiche 98 sheets)
This report is the third volume of the Vocabulary Survey of
High School Textbooks.
The corpus for this survey consisted of approximately 600,000
words which were used in the main texts of high school texbooks
in 1974, four in the sciences (Physics I, Chemistry I,
Biology I, Geology I) and five in the social sciences
(Social Ethics, Politics and Economics, Japanese History,
World History, Geography B).
This "concordance of vocabulary with context" differs from a
simple "index of terms" in that it allows the reader to
examine the context in which each word was used, and it is
useful not only for the specific analysis of words which are used
in high school textbooks but also for general lexical and
grammatical research on Japanese vocabulary.
One drawback of this concordance of vocabulary with context
is the large number of pages it requires. The data in
printed form comes to a total of 9,433 pages, i.e., 19
volumes of 500 pages each. To alleviate this drawback we
have made this data available on microfiche, thus allowing for
inexpensive production and easy scanning.
The contents of this data source are as follows.
1 Concordance of Vocabulary with Context, microfiche, 98
sheets
Number of Examples= 594,266 (including particles, auxiliary
verbs, numerals, symbols, etc.)
2 Explanatory Pamphlet
The production of this data source was carried out primarily
by the Department of Computational Linguistics, Sections 1 and
3.
NAKANO Hirosi, TURUOKA Akio, and YAMAZAKI Makoto
directed the writing of the explanatory pamphlet.
