摘要

本探索性研究探讨了英语儿童播客的词汇需求。我们使用这些流行的儿童播客的书面文字记录创建了一个包含 359,153 个单词的播客语料库：But Why、Circle Round、KidNuz、Smash Boom Best 和 Wow in the World。对语料库进行了分析，以确定认识英语儿童播客中 95% 和 98% 的单词所需的词汇量。结果表明，4,000 个词族的词汇量加上专有名词 (PN)、边缘词 (MW)、透明化合物 (TC) 和缩略语 (AC) 的知识，儿童播客语料的覆盖率为 95.69%；7,000 个词族的词汇量加上 PN、MW、TC 和 AC 的知识，覆盖率达到 98.10%。

English podcasts for schoolchildren and their vocabulary demands

This exploratory study examines the vocabulary demands of English children's podcasts. A 359,153-word podcast corpus was created using the written transcripts of episodes from these popular children's podcasts: But Why, Circle Round, KidNuz, Smash Boom Best, and Wow in the World. The corpus was analyzed to determine the vocabulary size necessary to know 95 % and 98 % of the words in the English children's podcasts. The results showed that a vocabulary size of the most 4,000-word families plus knowledge of proper nouns (PN), marginal words (MW), transparent compounds (TC) and acronyms (AC) provided 95.69 % coverage of the children's podcast corpus and a vocabulary size of 7,000-word families plus PN, MW, TC and AC reached 98.10 % coverage, indicating that podcasts designed for children require a larger vocabulary size compared to general-audience podcasts designed for adults.
