Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the methodology for the construction of an Academic Word List for Portuguese: PAWL, inspired in its English equivalent. The aim of this linguistic resource is to provide a solid base for future studies and applications on Computer Assisted Language Learning, while maintaining comparability with other comparable resources.
