Lexical Behaviour in Academic and Technical Corpora: Implications for ESP Development.
Fuentes, Alejandro Curado
Language Learning & Technology, v5 n3 p106-29 Sep 2001
Outlines a way of dealing with vocabulary in English for academic purposes instruction in light of insights provided by empirical observation. Focusing on collocation in the context of English for special purposes (ESP), and more specifically, English for information science and technology, shows how the results of the contrastive study of lexical items in small specific corpora can become the basis for teaching and learning ESP at the tertiary level.
