doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-8578.2021.02.002

Abstract

Abstract:

On the basis of the methodologies of Frequency, Context and Corpus Contrast originated outside China and by using a linguistic corpus of over 560 000 words, we put forward a four-step glossary building method and summarized a total of 359 English linguistic terms. This research is the first attempt in English linguistic glossary building while its innovation in research methodology benefits other disciplines in terminology research and glossary building.

Key words: glossary, English linguistics, frequency, context, corpus
