This page describes the Science Word List (SWL), giving information on what the SWL is, details about why it was developed, information on how it was developed, as well as a complete list of words in the SWL.
To explore the list more fully, try the SWL highlighter (on this site).
The Science Word List (SWL), developed by Averil Coxhead and David Hirsch in 2007, is a list of 318 word families which do not occur in the GSL or AWL but which occur with reasonable frequency in a range of written science texts.
The SWL is divided into sublists based on frequency, in a similar way to the AWL. There are 6 sublists, with the first 5 each containing 60 word families, and the last containing 18. The first sublist gives 2.01% coverage of the corpus used to derive the list, the second gives 0.74%, the third 0.45%, the fourth 0.30%, the fifth 0.21%, while the sixth (and smallest) sublist gives only 0.05% coverage.
The GSL, on which the AWL is based, provides lower coverage of science texts compared to other text types, meaning that the GSL and AWL in combination also give lower coverage. The coverage of the GSL and AWL for science texts is only 80%, compared to 86.7% for Art, 88.8% for Commerce and 88.5% for Law. The SWL is an attempt to provide extra coverage of science texts. Their list of 318 word families provided an extra coverage of 3.79% for their corpus.
Coxhead and Hirsch used a corpus of 1.7 million words, covering 14 subject areas, namely Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology, Engineering and Technology, Geography, Geology, Horticultural Science, Mathematics, Nursing and Midwifery, Physics, Sport and Health Sciences, and Veterinary and Animal Sciences.
To confirm that the list was a true science list, they compared coverage in the science corpus to that in non-science corpora. They found that the SWL gave only 0.61% coverage of an Arts corpus, 0.54% of a Commerce corpus, 0.34% for Law and 0.27% for fiction, much lower than the 3.79% of the science corpus.
