AB - This study aims at investigating the language used in children's English literature. Two small corpora were created referring to the BNC corpus. In order to collect and analyze the data, WordSmith 3.0, kfNGram and CLAWS tagset programs were used. The results reveal that: (1) there is a higher degree of nominalization in a corpus of imaginative fiction written for Korean children (hereafter, "IFKC"), (2) the IFKC offered much more reference to people and things, (3) the IFKC texts contains fantasy, while the imaginative fiction written for an adult audience (hereafter, "IFAA") texts are more realistic and sophistical, (4) the two fiction corpora portray the lexical verbs used in the key processes of a narrative, (5) The adjectives in the two fiction corpora reveal the typical characteristics of narrative, (6) the two fiction corpora to contain N-grams denotes times and places where narrative events unfold, and locations and flows of events, (7) the IFKC represents the 'I'-centered world view (8). Most examples in the IFKC, 'in time' indicates a deadline or the completion of an action. In sum, the dialogues in the elementary school English textbooks in Korea must be reconstructed by actively and positively adopting the strengths of children's literature, which reflects the feelings and emotions of children.
