Abstract

The purpose of this study is to show the development process of the Military English Army Basic Word List (MEABWL), which is specifically designed for military English. The process of developing MEABWL involves the following three steps: 1) create a military English corpus (MEA_Corpus) by crawling big data composed of various military-related written and spoken texts; 2) make word lists in three ways (i.e., by using the scope of range, utilizing the corpus comparison approach, and extracting keywords) and select the most appropriate one for the study; and 3) develop a word list incorporating expert judgment in regards to 'familiarity' and 'specialty' based on the word list categorized by the scope of range. By developing and presenting a military English word list through the establishment of a 9,877,104-word military corpus, this study is expected to help learners understand military-relevant texts and educators customize word lists following specific needs in their English for specific purposes (ESP) courses/classes. Finally, the study concludes by offering some suggestions for further research.

Keywords:

ESP, military English, word list, big data, corpus
