Medical Academic Word List (MAWL)

This page describes the Medical Academic Word List (MAWL), giving information on what the MAWL is, as well as a complete list of all words in the MAWL.

To explore the list more fully, try the MAWL highlighter (on this site).

What is the MAWL?

The Medical Academic Word List (MAWL) was developed by in 2008 by Jing Wang, Shao-lan Liang and Guang-chun Ge of the Department of Foreign Languages, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi’an, China. The list was developed from a study of a 1.09 million-word corpus of medical research articles from online resources, covering 32 medical subject areas. The MAWL contains 623 word families, and has a coverage of 12.24% of words in the corpus used to derive the list.

The MAWL was developed in a similar way to the Academic Word List, by first eliminating words from the GSL (General Service List). In addition, members of the word family needed to occur in at least half of the 32 subject areas, and occur at least 30 times in the corpus.

Medical Academic Word List

The list below contains all 623 headwords in the MAWL, along with members of the word family. They are numbered according to frequency, with 1 being the most frequent, 623 being the least frequent. This list here is ordered alphabetically. Words contain hyperlinks to the Wordnet dictionary, hosted on this site (definitions open in an alert box on the same page).

There is also a copy of the list in order of frequency.
