An Analysis of Academic Words Patterns for Korean Learners: Focused on Department of Natural academic vocabulary selection

This study aims to provide a foundation in regards to vocabulary education for Korean language education to academic purposes, based on an analysis of the use patterns of vocabulary in natural science texts. Towards this end, this study used natural science related corpus of 800,000 words scale established through the 21st-century Sejong Plan, more than 60,000 nomenclature list and a list of more than 6,000 vocabularies for Korean language learning presented by the National Institute of the Korean Language for analysis. From the analysis results, it was found that the frequency of use of common nouns, adjectives and conjunctive adverbs are higher in test of natural sciences compared to general text, and especially the frequency in use of foreign languages is significantly high. In text of natural sciences, the use of vocabularies for Korean language learning accounted for 61.9% (5,789 kinds), and nomenclature 16.7% (5,605 kinds). From these figures, high-frequency nomenclature (more than 100 times) was more than 279, which constituted 10% of the entire text, and more than 104 kinds of other high-frequency words accounted for 5%. The ratio of the predicate used in full-text was 28%, and from this figure, more than 2,000 kinds of high-frequency predicate accounted for more than 90% of the total predicate use. Among the predicate, high-frequency predicate which does not belong to learning vocabularies and nomenclature was more than 40 kinds, which constituted 1.2% (4.2% of the use of the predicate) of the entire text. In this study, more than 279 kinds of academic vocabulary candidates were presented. And this study is expected to provide the foundation of vocabulary selection and learning for Korean language education of academic purposes.
