CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VOCABULARY FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ENGLISH
摘  要:
English for Science and Technology (EST) is an important branch of English for Special Purposes (ESP) which has emerged with the development of theory and practice of social linguistics in recent years. In fact, EST has existed for many, many years. It is simply English used by those engaged in science and technology. Today it has succeeded as a new branch of language just because EST has its own characteristics in the vocabulary, the grammar and the rhetoric. This article defines the scope of the vocabulary for EST. The vocabulary's features are described in Section 2. The third section traces the origin of the scientific and technological vocabulary. Section 4 discusses polysemy and synonymy of the words scientists and technologists use. It is hoped that this paper will be of interest for purposes of reading and translating sceientific and technical literature, and also useful for the polytechnieal college English teachers and researchers.
