1. Academic Vocabulary
Talking about Meaning
A The importance of meaning
Academic study in any subject inevitably requires precision with regard to the meanings of the terms1 used. Many textbooks provide a glossary2 of the terminology3 of the subject and this should be referred to frequently, whenever the meaning of some new term is not transparent4. Often there are subtle distinctions5 between the way in which a word is used in a non-academic context and the way in which it is used in a specific academic discipline and the student needs to be able to distinguish between these different senses6 of the same word. When writing an essay or an article it is often appropriate to begin by defining7 the key words relating to the topic. If this is not done then the reader may find the writing ambiguous8 and may misinterpret9 the text. In lectures, too, the audience will require the lecturer to clarify what they are saying by providing a definition of any unfamiliar terms. This is essential if the lecturer is to communicate their meaning in a clear and coherent10 way.
