초록
This study aims to analyze the English language characteristics of marine accident investigation reports from four continents, i.e. America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. The examination from the perspectives of lexical complexity, lexical density, keywords and key clusters not only shows differences in words and expressions between non-English speaking countries and English-speaking countries, but also indicates that there are varieties even within the English language itself. Additionally, implications and suggestions from the corpus-based study results are offered to teachers, students and related practitioners for English for specific purposes concerning aspects of the application of advanced vocabulary in writing and the varieties in English itself. This study can shed some light on the teaching and learning process of maritime English, in particular for the writing of marine accident investigation reports.
