Capitalizing on some accidents in the development of English (the Norman conquest and bifurcation of the language), Coxhead showed in a corpus study that a smallish set of 570 mainly Greco-Latin word families, of medium (post-2,000 level) frequency in English as a whole but much higher frequency in the discourse of scientific texts, when added to the 2,000 families of the General Service List (GSL; West, 1953) will normally give academic learners about 90% coverage in the texts they are studying (or a little more since they will also know some technical items in their subjects).
98% 8,000–9,000 word families (written)
6,000–7,000 for spoken
