项目摘要

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the English textbooks of the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa eras (1968-1940). In 2004 one set of the five Books of Girls Pacific Readers (Kairyudo, 1938), authored by Sawamura, was digitalized. The digitalized file was put into the textbook English corpus, which consisted of the digitalized texts of 14 sets of the English textbooks that were used in Japan during the span of 140 years. The textbook corpus was quantitatively analyzed in terms of (1)tokens, (2)types, (3)new types, (4)token/new type ratio, (5)Flesch Reading Ease, (6)Flesch Kincaid Grade Level, (7)passive sentences and (8)nominative relative pronoun. The results of these analyses shed light on some aspects of the development/change of the English textbooks of Japan over the 140 years. In particular, the comparison of the quantitative indices of the 14 sets of the textbooks revealed that the new words and tokens of the textbooks were drastically decreased over the 140 years and that, in contrast, the new type/token ratio was drastically increased. These findings were combined with the findings of the qualitative analysis and a comprehensive interpretation and evaluation was conducted on the process of the development/change of the English textbooks of Japan over the span of 140 years.The findings of these analyses were published in Ozasa and Erikakwa eds. Historical Study of English Textbooks (2004, Jiyusha, in Japanese). They were also published in seven national and international journals and orally presented in eleven national and international conferences.

本研究的目的是对明治、大正和昭和初期（1968-1940）的英语教科书进行定量分析。2004年，Sawamura创作的五本《太平洋女孩读物》（Kairyudo，1938年）中的一套被数字化。该数字化文件被放入教科书英语语料库中，该语料库由140年来在日本使用的14套英语教科书的数字化文本组成。从（1）标记、（2）类型、（3）新类型、（4）标记/新类型比率、（5）Flesch阅读容易度、（6）Flesch Kincaid等级、（7）被动句和（8）主格关系代词等方面对教材语料进行定量分析。这些分析的结果揭示了140年来日本英语教科书发展变化的某些方面。特别是，14套教科书的定量指标的比较显示，教科书的新词和标记急剧下降，在140年，相比之下，新的类型/标记的比例急剧增加。这些研究结果与定性分析的结果相结合，对140年来日本英语教科书的发展/变化过程进行了全面的解释和评价，这些分析结果发表在Ozasa和Erikakwa eds上。《英语教科书的历史研究》（2004年，Jiyusha，日文）。它们还在七种国家和国际期刊上发表，并在十一次国家和国际会议上作了口头介绍。
