The General Service List

Academic English > Vocabulary > GSL

The original General Service List (GSL) had about 2000 headwords and about 1500 related words, making about 3500 words altogether. In the original list, different verb forms were not given (e.g. work, works, working), neither were plurals (e.g. book, books), nor the months, days of the week and numbers. However, such words have been added to the list below (which in total contains around 5,500 words). Remember that Academcic English is written formally and in a gender neutral, non-judgmental, non-rehtorical style. Remember also, to “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).
