Abstract

Disciplinary vocabulary is one of three tiers of vocabulary words in learning the English language. Connected to the specific discipline, learning discipline-specific vocabulary is important to the students related to ESP. Especially, for non-English major disciplines that own their high-frequency words that are only used in their discipline, such as accounting. This study employs corpus-based comparative study analysis to focus on comparing undergraduate thesis students' abstracts and journal article abstracts within the accounting field. In order to know the most used vocabulary in the accounting field from both corpora. Moreover, 50% of undergraduate thesis abstracts of accounting students from 5 state universities in Java and 50% of journal article abstracts from 5 accounting international journals were used as the data. The data result from AntConc software with a total technical vocabulary was 93 tokens words from 15,197 tokens with 7,465 tokens from the student’s undergraduate thesis abstract corpora and 7,732 tokens from journal article abstract corpora. The result shows the 15 highest frequency words from both corpora as disciplinary words inaccounting, including terms such as financial, audit, companies, and tax. Despite the similar highest frequency words in both corpora, each of them has different contexts of use and collocation. This difference indicates that the same words can be used to explain other issues or topics related to accounting. In addition, this current study provides accounting educators with a list of disciplinary vocabulary items in accounting that can be used as teaching references or material related to teaching ESP for accounting.
