Description

This presentation will demonstrate the development of a specialized English vocabulary list for offshore wind safety operations using a corpus-based approach. Industry-specific terminology was extracted from safety training materials and validated by professionals. A total of 231 key terms were identified to support precise communication in high-risk environments. Although this study focuses on offshore wind safety, the methodology can be applied to other technical fields requiring specialized English for effective workplace communication.
