TOEICに出るのに日常英語では見かけない1,250語|TSL全リストと使い方

結論: TSLはTOEICの英文に出る語だけを集めた1,250語のリストです。日常英語の頻出リストNGSLとは1語も重ならないため、単独では使えません。NGSLなどの土台を先に固め、その上に積み増す使い方が前提になります。

TSLは「NGSLの続き」として作られたリスト

TSLはTOEIC Service Listの略です。Browne, C., & Culligan, B. (2016) が公開しました。

TOEICの英文を大量に集めたコーパスを数えて作ります。コーパスとは、文章を大量に集めた「言葉の倉庫」のようなものです。その倉庫の中でよく出る語を、頻度の高い順に並べたものがTSLです。

数え方の単位は見出し語です。見出し語とは、活用形をまとめた代表の形を指します。go / goes / went を「go」1語として数える、あの数え方です。この単位で1,250語あります。

ここが一番大事な点です。TSLは、それだけで完結するリストではありません。設計そのものが「日常英語の頻出語には入らない語を拾う」形になっています。

土台になるのはNGSLです。NGSLはNew General Service Listの略で、日常英語でよく出る2,809語を集めたリストです。TSLはその外側だけを担当します。

単語帳にたとえるなら、TSLは基礎編ではなく別冊です。基礎編を終えた人が次に開く1冊にあたります。別冊だけを先にやる使い方は、設計と噛み合いません。

重なりゼロという実測

greencafe編集部が、NGSLの2,809語とTSLの1,250語を突き合わせました。結果は共通0語でした。1語も重なりません。

これは既存の論文にはない独自の集計です。ただし驚くような結果ではありません。設計どおりに出た数字だからです。

Browne (2013) は、NGSLを「日常英語の土台を最小の語数で覆うリスト」として説明しています。土台が2,809語で固まっているなら、TOEICのための補充リストは、その外側を探すのが合理的です。同じ語を二度並べても、学習者の手間が増えるだけだからです。

この0語という数字には、実用上の意味があります。TSLの1,250語は、NGSLをどれだけ完璧に仕上げても、一切前倒しで身につかないということです。逆に言えば、両者は足し算で効きます。土台の学習と補充の学習が食い合いません。

覚え方そのもので詰まっている場合は、TOEIC単語を効率よく覚える4原則英単語が覚えられない大人へで扱っている、思い出す回数と間隔の話が先になります。

1,250語はどこに散らばっているか

TSLの語が一般英語の中でどのくらい珍しいのかを調べました。物差しにしたのはBNC/COCAの25,000語族リストです。これは英語全体を頻度順に並べ、1,000語ずつの束に切った目盛りです。1番目の束が、最もよく出る1,000語です。

照合の結果は次のように散らばりました。

1番目の束に131語、2番目に205語、3番目に225語、4番目に270語、5番目に144語です。6番目に76語、7番目に30語と続き、細く尾を引きます。

山は4番目の束です。一般英語の頻度で見ると、上位ではありますが最上位ではない帯にあたります。

もっとも目を引くのはここです。120語は、25,000語族の目盛りのどこにも入りませんでした。一般英語では、2万5千語を数えても現れない語ということです。

これを「重要でない語」と読むのは誤りです。頻度が低いのは、使われる場面が限られているからにすぎません。

駅の券売機の前でしか言わない言葉を思い浮かべると分かりやすくなります。1年分の会話を全部集めれば、その言葉の割合はごくわずかです。しかし券売機の前に立てば、ほぼ毎回出てきます。

TOEICの語彙も同じ構造をしています。請求、出張の日程、社内の連絡といった場面に偏っています。invoiceやitineraryのような語が、日常会話ではまず出ないのに、TOEICでは繰り返し現れるのはそのためです。

つまりTSLは「難しい語のリスト」ではなく「場面が偏った語のリスト」です。

カバー率の研究から見たTSLの位置

語彙研究には、カバー率という考え方があります。カバー率とは、ある文章に出てくる語のうち、何%を知っているかを示す割合です。

Hu & Nation (2000) は、未知語の密度を変えながら読解の成績を測りました。知っている語が98%あるとき、大半の読者が支障なく読めました。95%まで下がると、読めない人が目立って増えました。

Nation (2006) は、この98%という線を語数に換算しています。小説や新聞では8,000から9,000語族、話し言葉では6,000から7,000語族が必要という推計です。

Laufer & Ravenhorst-Kalovski (2010) は、95%を最低ライン、98%を快適なラインとして整理しました。Schmitt, Jiang, & Grabe (2011) はさらに踏み込み、既知語の割合と読解得点はなめらかに上がると報告しています。ここを超えれば急に読める、という段差はありません。

編集部の実測も、この線に沿った形になりました。パブリックドメインの英語小説の冒頭10,816語に対し、NGSLは90.5%、BNC/COCAの上位3,000語族は93.9%を覆いました。同じサンプルで95%に届くには4,000語族、98%には7,000語族が必要でした。より詳しい語数の話は英単語は何個覚えれば読める・聞けるのかにまとめてあります。

同じサンプルでTSLが覆えたのは3.4%でした。この数字も、TSLを単独で使えない理由をそのまま示しています。

ただし注意が必要です。このサンプルは小説であって、TOEICの英文ではありません。3.4%という値は、TSLの語が日常の物語文には薄くしか出ないことを示すだけです。TOEICの英文に対しては、当然もっと高い割合になります。

読解の理屈自体はTOEICでも同じです。知らない語が混じるほど、文の意味をつなぐ作業が止まります。カバー率を上げることは、その中断を減らす作業にあたります。

このリストで言えないこと

正直に書いておくべき限界が3つあります。

1つ目は、TSLがTOEIC公式の単語リストではないことです。出題側が公開したものではなく、コーパス研究をもとに第三者が作ったリストです。出題範囲を保証するものではありません。

2つ目は、因果を言えないことです。「1,250語を覚えれば何点上がる」と書けるだけの実験は見当たりません。語彙の大きさとスコアに相関があるという報告はあります。しかし相関は、原因と結果の証明にはなりません。

3つ目は、リストが学習法を含まないことです。Nation (2016) は、語彙リストを教材そのものではなく素材として扱うべきだと述べています。どの順で、どの間隔で、どうやって思い出すかは、リストの外側にある問題です。

さらに、スコアは語彙だけで決まりません。同じ語を知っていても、読む速さと時間配分が伴わなければ最後まで解き切れません。この処理速度の側面は語彙リストの担当範囲外なので、TOEICが上がらない本当の理由TOEIC800点で止まった人へで別に扱っています。

このデータの使い方

以下の表とCSVが、TSLの見出し語1,250語の全件です。頻度順位つきで並べてあります。

使い方の推奨は1つだけです。NGSLなどの土台を先に固め、そのあとでTSLに入ることです。重なりが0語である以上、順番を逆にした分だけ、土台の穴が残ります。

順位は「TOEICの英文でよく出る順」であって「覚えやすい順」ではありません。仕事で出会う場面に近い語から拾う進め方も、同じくらい合理的です。

よくある質問

TSLだけを覚えればTOEICの英文は読めますか。

読めません。TSLは日常英語の頻出語をあえて外して作られたリストだからです。文章の骨組みを作る語は、NGSLなど別のリストが担当します。

TSLとNGSLはどのくらい重なりますか。

greencafe編集部が見出し語同士を突き合わせたところ、共通する語は0語でした。重ならないように作られているためです。

TSLはTOEIC公式の単語リストですか。

違います。コーパス研究をもとに第三者が公開したリストです。出題側が保証する範囲を示すものではありません。

1,250語を覚えると何点上がりますか。

言えません。リストの学習がスコアを何点押し上げるかを検証した実験は見当たらないためです。点数を約束する数字は出しません。

頻度順位が低い語は後回しでよいですか。

一概には言えません。TSLの順位はTOEICの英文の中での出やすさを示すもので、一般英語での珍しさとは別の物差しです。
