A corpus-based study of English zoology academic word lists

This study aimed to (1) generate the common vocabulary used in zoology research articles and identify their frequencies and (2) validate the word lists by zoology experts. The Zoology Research Articles Corpus (ZRAC) was compiled from 268 Zoology research articles published during January 2016 – February 2019 from the International Journals of Zoology by Zoological society of London. The ZRAC consists of 1,530,384 words. The AntWordProfiler (1.4.0) software was used to analyze the frequency of the words. The results revealed that there are 504 high frequency content words. Later, seven university lecturers teaching zoology were asked to clarify the specification of the words in the field of zoology. After the validation process, 218 words (43.25%) were removed from the list which was then categorized into word families. The word lists were generated using the Coxhead's range and word frequency criteria called the Zoology Academic Word Lists (ZAWL). The ZAWL aims to assist undergraduate and graduate students in their preparation for zoology related fields with essential words for the reading and writing of research papers. Additionally, ZAWL can be applied in vocabulary pedagogy for zoology lecturers in selecting appropriate vocabulary to teach undergraduate and graduate classes.
