Abstract

From the perspective of high-frequency vocabulary, based on 589 data of Japanese major graduation thesis topics in an undergraduate university in eight years, this paper analyzes the current situation of topic selection and topic research of Japanese major graduation thesis from three aspects: quantity, field and academic writing terms. The results show that the fields of topic selection tend to be diversified, and society, culture and education are the main fields of topic selection for Japanese major graduation thesis, among which the proportion of animation field is increasing, while Japanese language and literature field are still favored. The type of graduation thesis is mainly academic thesis. However, it is necessary to broaden the writing text form of graduation thesis and strengthen the methodological study of empirical research.
