Conclusion
The role and value of word list research for ESP

This chapter has looked at word lists in ESP through looking at research on developing lists and considering the kinds of lexical items that might be available in a specialised corpus for selection for word lists, and at principles for selection of items for lists. The chapter also looked at research based on word lists, including vocabulary size, language change and assessment. Whereas this chapter has concentrated on word lists based on single words, Chapter 4 looks at multi-word units and some examples of word lists using more than single words.
