초록
Computer science is a fast-moving and must-learn discipline, with a high lexical density of conceptually-demanding technical vocabulary. This study seeks to identify technical vocabulary used within the discipline of computer science through the corpus-based methodology. A specialized corpus of 135 research articles in computer science was built, comprised of 1,260,460 running words and for the analysis, AntWordProfiler was utilized. The corpus-driven analysis demonstrated that the GSL accounted for 71% and the combination of GSL and AWL achieved 83.1% of the computer science corpus, less than the 95% lexical threshold suggested for optimal comprehension. This highlights the need for a mastery of technical lexis in computer science, which was found to be of technical in nature and the total of 545 field-oriented technical words were identified.
