Study on Text Mining of English Materials for Tourism Purposes | Chapter 3 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 10

This essay examines a number of English travel novels and contrasts them with journalism in terms of metrical linguistics. As a consequence, it is evident that English tourist products have some intriguing qualities. Reading materials in English, which is regarded as a global common language, has become crucial as tourism knowledge has grown in importance. If the characteristics of English in this field are fully recognised, reading the materials will be simpler. This essay examines several English books on tourism and compares their metrical linguistics to journalism. In essence, character- and word-appearance frequency features are investigated using C++ software. To make an approximation of these features, we employ an exponential function. Additionally, the percentage of Japanese junior high school essential vocabulary compared to American basic vocabulary is used to gauge each content's difficulty level and K-characteristic. It has been amply shown that English tourist products have a similar propensity to literary productions in terms of character presentation. Furthermore, older books with a greater speciality are more challenging to read than journalism, and tourist materials have high K-characteristic values. The findings of this study will be helpful in defining specific writers' genre as tourism. It is necessary to compile the analysis findings in order to increase the identification's accuracy.
