摘要

绘本是培养儿童语言能力的重要材料。因此，英语绘本可以说是儿童英语学习中不可或缺的一部分。本文对部分英语绘本的格律特征进行了研究，并与日本初中英语教材进行了比较。简而言之，研究了字形和词形的频率特征。这些特征用指数函数近似表示。进而计算日本初中必修词汇和美国初中基础词汇的百分比，得出难度等级。结果表明，英语绘本在人物形象特征上具有与文学作品相似的倾向，而且有些绘本的难度高于英语教材。

Text Mining of English Picture Books

Picture books play an important role as a material that develops children's linguistic competence. Thus, English picture books can be considered to be indispensable in children's English study. In this paper, metrical characteristics of some English picture books were investigated, compared with English textbooks for Japanese junior high schools students. In short, frequency characteristics of character- and word-appearance were investigated. These characteristics were approximated by an exponential function. Furthermore, the percentage of Japanese junior high school required vocabulary and American basic vocabulary was calculated to obtain the difficulty-level. As a result, it was clearly shown that the English picture books have a similar tendency to literary writings in the characteristics of character-appearance, and some books are more difficult than English textbooks.
