Title: Corpora and Word Lists: How to Choose Academic Words
Presenter: Shin'ichiro Ishikawa Kobe University
Abstract:
Corpora have been widely utilized for compilation of varied types of word lists. In this talk, I will briefly touch upon the history of corpus-based word lists. Then, I will introduce two kinds of recently developed wordlists: New JACET8000 (JACET, 2016) and BABILON2000 (Ishikawa, 2018). New JACET8000 is a general-purpose word list designed for college students in Japan. It is based on the frequency data from the British National Corpus (BNC), Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), and a set of supplementary corpora including the texts that Japanese students are likely to encounter in the near future. Meanwhile, BABILON2000, which is intended to expand the Academic Word List (Coxhead, 2000), is a list of high-frequency and high-coverage academic words chosen on the basis of six key principles: BAlanced, Broad, Integrated, Lemma-based, and OpeN.
