This is the format that is closest to that
of Coxhead's
Academic Word List (AWL). Our families, however, contain a great
deal of information that is not available in the older AWL. Available in
two formats: Word (probably
better for printing), or Excel (probably
better for viewing, and with raw
data). |

Academic
"core" |
Sample |
The top 3,000 lemmas, listed individually
(i.e. not in word families). It also shows the frequency of each word
(lemma) in each of the nine domains of COCA-Academic (e.g. Business,
Law, or Medicine). |

All
COCA-Academic |
Sample |
The 20,000 or so most frequent words
(lemmas) in the 120 million words of COCA Academic. This list includes
all words that are:
1. Part of the "academic core" (e.g. research, development, or
indicate)
2. Technical/domain-specific: limited primarily to one or two domains
(e.g. assessment in Education, cell in Science, or
federal in Law/PolSci)
3. All other words in COCA-Academic, including "general" (non-academic)
words like with, know, or people |
