Vocabulary and english for specific purposes research : quantitative and qualitative perspectives / Averil Coxhead - First edition - 199 pages ; 25 cm - Routledge Research in English for Specific Purposes .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This book is about vocabulary research in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) - that is, technical or specialised vocabulary. The book is meant for established and new researchers, and interested teachers in ESP and vocabulary studies. The aim of the book is to broadly pull together vocabulary research into ESP in one volume, drawing on the strengths of research in vocabulary studies over recent years. ESP is an umbrella term for many areas of specialisation, including English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Professional and Occupational English and English in the Trades. The volume aims to use these discussions as a way to help build our understandings of vocabulary through the lens of ESP. That said, this is not a book about vocabulary acquisitions, per se."-- INTRODUCTION
