ABSTRACT

For interpretation in the economic and financial domains, this study attempts to extract single nouns and compound nouns based on the study corpus was created with transcripts of the economic and financial conference. This paper attempts to examine the patterns of terminology over the seven years and select basic technical words according to the frequency and the annual usage patterns. The results show that the single noun and the compound nouns are very diverse every year. The words that appear every year are grouped into essential vocabulary that must be studied. Even if it doesn't appear every year, the words that appear at high frequencies are defined as ‘essential vocabulary’. In addition, the terminology contains not only technical words, but also many common economic and financial words. The result of confirming the terminology hit rate for a given year based on the construction of the terminology list shows that the hit rate for a single noun is 65%, compared to 11% for a compound noun. However, considering that compound nouns account for a very high proportion of the entire text, compound nouns are also a factor that must be included in terminology preparation. I hope the limitations of this study will be further supplemented so that we can build and utilize a corpus-based terminology for interpreters’ preparation in the economic and financial domains.
