Abstract

This paper aims to analyze lexical properties of keyword lists extracted from NLT Old Testament Corpus(NOTC), NLT New Testament Corpus(NNTC), and The NLT Bible Corpus(NBC) and identify that text dispersion keyness is more effective than corpus frequency keyness. For this purpose, NOTC including around 570,000 running words and NNTC about 200,000 were compiled after downloading the files from NLT website of Bible Hub. Scott's (2020) WordSmith 8.0 was utilized to extract keyword lists through comparing a target corpus and a reference corpus. The result demonstrated that text dispersion keyness showed lexical properties of keyword lists better than corpus frequency keyness and that the former was a superior measure for generating optimal keyword lists to fully meet content-generalizability and content distinctiveness.

본 연구는 구약 성경 코퍼스와 신약 성경 코퍼스, 그리고 구약과 신약 성경을 통합한 코퍼스에서 추출된 키워드 목록의 어휘적 특징을 분석하고, 또 사용빈도 기반의 키워드 분석보다 분포도 기반 키워드 분석이 더 우수한 분석 방식임을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Bible Hub의 NLT 웹사이트에서 성경 파일을 다운받아 약 57만 어절의 구약 성경 코퍼스와 약 20만 어절의 신약 성경 코퍼스를 구축하였다. 목표 코퍼스와 참조 코퍼스의 비교를 통한 키워드 목록을 추출하기 위해서 Scott(2020)의 WordSmith 8.0 프로그램을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 분포도 기반 키워드 분석이 사용빈도 기반의 키워드 분석보다 키워드 목록의 어휘적 특징을 보다 더 잘 나타낼 수 있었고, 또 코퍼스 내용의 대표성과 변별성을 충분히 충족시킬 수 있는 최적의 키워드 목록을 추출하기 위해서는 분포도 기반 키워드 분석이 더 우수한 방식임을 밝혔다.
