Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the English terminology of one of the oldest fields in the existence of mankind. Specifically, we analyze the development of the language of carpentry, the definition and the classification of terms which denote carpentry jobs and carpentry tools and materials. Moreover, we provide a list of action verbs followed by specific nouns from the carpentry field to highlight the carpentry skills and practices. Last but not least, we discuss the etymology and definition of the term “occupation” in order to collect more data and to emphasize the importance of English for Carpentry in the field of English for Occupational Purposes. In order to strengthen the pedagogical feature of English for Carpentry by designing courses to meet students’ various needs, we mentioned the catalytic role of both terminology research in the field of carpentry and the collaboration between teachers, specialists in the field of carpentry, terminologists and translators.
