Abstract
Hirsh, David. 2010. Academic Vocabulary in Context. (Linguistic Insights 118. Studies in Language and Communication.) Bern: Peter Lang. ISBN 978-3-0343-0426-9 Reviewed by Patrick Drouin. In this book, the author does not propose a new list of academic words but rather builds on the one compiled by Coxhead (2000). Hirsh’s objective, although not stated in the introduction of the book, is to establish functional categories for the academic vocabulary in order to explain the role of academic words alongside general purpose and technical terms in academic texts.
