ABSTRACT

In studies analyzing vocabulary , words are classified by part of speech, word type and word structure, and then are presented starting with high-frequency words to establish priority for vocabulary learning and to present suggestions for efficient vocabulary learning. This manuscript targets the noun vocabularies of basic Japanese language teaching materials, classifies highly relevant words by meaning into groups, and presents high- frequency words by groups. By allowing the determination of priorities for vocabulary learning, such lists allow for efficient Japanese vocabulary learning. The number of vocabulary items analyzed in three basic Japanese language textbooks ranged from 853 to 4,214 words in 『다-뉴』, from 1,298 to 7,424 words in 『시-민』, and from 841 to 3,412 words in 『동-도』. Although the number of words in each group varies from one textbook to another, words that appear frequently have similar features.Considering the influence of vocabulary power on Japanese conversation, forming a mind map and learning words in each group together is thought to be very useful to improving learner's speaking abilities. In future studies, we will not only analyze vocabulary, but also offer efficient guidance for using the analyzed vocabulary.
