The Academic Word List

Academic English > Vocabulary > AWL

Academcic English is written formally and in a gender neutral, non-judgmental, non-rehtorical style. There are now a number of “academic word lists” that have been compiled via the use of concordance tools. Coxhead’s Academic Word List (AWL)—set out in full below—is particularly useful (Coxhead, 2000). It is important to note that to really “know” a word you will need to know (1) how to use it in the correct context (how, where and when) (2), spell and pronounce it correctly (3), know its meaning/s and definition/s (4), know its grammatical form/s (e.g. adjective, noun or verb) and also (5), know its synonyms and antonyms (related and opposite words).
