| Summary: | The question of characterizing academic vocabulary has often been framed in a context that is purely determined by questions of language teaching. The aim in such approaches is to come up with a list of words for learners of English for Special Purposes.

In a list, a threshold determines the borderline on a one-dimensional scale between what counts as medical. |
