Abstract
Based on college students’ writing data, this study investigated various uses via basic quantitative analysis, measurement of colloquialism, and comparative analysis of usage. In Chapter 3, the length of sentences by registers was measured. As a result, self-introduction and photo image writing had the shortest sentences, while proposal writing had the longest. Lexical diversity analysis revealed that travel writing had the lowest lexical diversity, and photographic image writing had the highest. Lastly, the vocabulary density was highest in proposal writing and the lowest in self-introduction, and all six registers showed values lower than the average vocabulary density of previously measured Korean written texts. A comparison of colloquial features measures in six registers and a usage analysis of specific vocabulary were performed in Chapter 4. First, we examined the distribution of 16 particles identified as highly colloquial vocabulary in existing research. Next, we compared and organized the usage of the dependent noun “geo” and the common noun “ttae” with high colloquiality scores by region of use. Influenced by, the incorrect use of the frequently used common noun “bubun” was also examined through usage analysis. We presente d a variety of quantitative measurement methods used in corpus linguistics, which is expected to be of considerable help in college writing research, where corpus linguistics research is relatively less advanced. In addition, sub-corpus were created and compared by register, and the writing data produced by individual students can also be quantitatively analyzed using the same method. In other words, through this comparative work, a student’s writing ability can be qualitatively measured and presented. In addition, supplementing and organizing the usage analysis performed in this study into a collection of usages will make it possible to use it as specific sentence usages in the development of writing textbooks or writing education at colleges in the future.
