采矿工程专业学术英语词表的创建

Establishment of Academic English Vocabulary for Mining Engineering

具体学科学术词表的建立对学习者具有重大意义。Coxhead在2000年推出了Academic Word List学术词汇表(简称AWL),该词表语料来自于文、商、法及理四个学科的英文材料,同时每门学科下还有七个子学科,共计350万字符,涵盖28个学科。尽管其中包含的学术词族总体上适用于理工科,但无法充分覆盖具体学科特别是采矿工程专业的需要。采矿业作为我国经济发展的组成要素之一,其专业学术词表的建立能够满足专业学习的需求。因此本文旨在通过语料库的方法下建立采矿工程英语学术词表。该词表通过提取汇集语料库中高频出现的词汇形成的学术词表,且收录的词汇基于大规模真实语料,能够助力研究者日后的论文写作与翻译实践。

The establishment of academic word list of specific subjects is of great significance to learners. In 2000, Coxhead launched the Academic Word List (AWL for short), which is based on English materials from four disciplines: liberal arts, business, law and science. At the same time, there are seven sub-disciplines under each discipline, totaling 3.5 million characters, covering 28 disciplines. Although the academic word families included are generally applicable to science and engineering, they cannot fully cover the needs of specific disciplines, especially mining engineering. Mining industry is one of the components of China’s economic development, the establishment of its professional academic thesaurus can meet the needs of professional learning. Therefore, this paper aims to establish a mining engineering English academic lexicon based on the method of corpus. The academic word list formed by extracting and collecting frequently occurring words from the corpus, and the included words are based on large-scale real corpus, which can help researchers in future paper writing and translation practice.
