Abstract
This paper presents an overview of a newly released online vocabulary analysis tool, English/Japanese Word Frequency Table Generator (EJWFTG). EJWFTG automatically generates an integrated vocabulary frequency list from multiple texts (Ishikawa 2024). Section 1 illustrates why an integrated vocabulary list is needed in language research. Section 2 provides a brief survey of EJWFTG and touches upon its main features. Section 3 describes the process of creating a vocabulary list from sample Japanese novel texts. Then, Section 4 presents two examples of utilizing the obtained vocabulary lists for research: a reconsideration of the importance of words based on their frequencies and ranges and an application of a multivariate analytic method to the frequency table for text classification.
