Abstract
In this study, the aim was to determine academic words in academic Turkish teaching sets, to describe the numerical and rational distribution of these academic words and to make a comparison between the vocabulary of engineering-health sciences and social sciences. Vocabulary units classified as social sciences, and engineering-health sciences were evaluated in terms of their percentages in their own categories, the most frequently used word types and conceptual features and to analysed the differences in usage between social and engineering-health science, Mann Whitney U test was adapted. The result of the study indicated that frequency of academic words’ usage (%7-%8) is lower than their use count; however, when the number of single uses were considered, in terms of developing comprehension and explanation skills, it is highly important. When social science and engineering-health science vocabulary were compared in terms of vocabulary frequency and academic word’s frequency.
