Academic vocabulary is in fashion, as witnessed by the increasing
number of books published on the topic. In the first part of this
book , Magali Paquot scrutinizes the concept of 'academic
vocabulary' and proposes a corpus-driven procedure based on the
criteria of keyness, range and evenness of distribution to select
academic words that could be part of a common-core academic
vocabulary syllabus. In the second part, the author offers a
thorough analysis of academic vocabulary in the International
Corpus of Learner English (ICLE) and describes the factors that
account for learners' difficulties in academic writing. She then
focuses on the role of corpora, and more particularly, learner
corpora, in EAP material design. It is the first monograph in which
Granger's (1996) Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis is used to
compare 10 ICLE learner sub-corpora, in order to distinguish
between linguistic features that are shared by learners from a wide
range of mother tongue backgrounds and unique features that may be
transfer-related.
