This study undertook a quantitative lexicological analysis using attributed speaker information, and reports on the problems of creating standards when annotating speaker information (gender and age) of conversation sentences in novels. In this paper, we performed a comparative analysis of vocabulary use by gender and age of conversation sentences and descriptive part sentences, as well as on the differences between Japanese novels and translations of foreign novels. In addition, a comparison with other spoken language materials was made.
