영어 I 교과서와 대학수학능력시험 영어 영역에 나타난 부정사의 분포에 대한 분석

초록

This paper investigates how infinitive clauses and their uses are distributed among four high school English Ⅰ textbooks and the 2015-2016 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) English reading sections. Five major uses of infinitives are identified: the external argument use, the internal argument one, the adjectival one, the adverbial one, and the idiomatic one. Comparison of the data annotated with these five major uses through a chi-square tests shows that there is a statistically significant difference between these six materials. The internal argument use of infinitives is further classified as the noun complement use, the verb complement one, the adjective complement one, and the preposition complement one. A chi-square test shows that, in relation to the four sub-internal argument uses, there is also a statistically significant difference between the English I textbooks and the CSATs. Although further chi-square tests show no significant distributional difference between the English I textbooks and the CSATs regarding various adverbial uses, they do show that they are significantly different regarding the complement patterns of verbs involving infinitives. The findings obtained here suggest that the presentation of infinitives in the English I textbooks is not enough to teach infinitives through input enhancement together with input flood.
