Sublists of the Academic Word List

Each word in italics is the most frequently occurring member of the word family in the Academic Corpus.  For example, analysis is the most common form of the word family analyse.  British and American spelling is included in the word families, so contextualise and contextualize are both included in the family context.

Sublist 1 contains the most common words in the AWL. Sublist 2 contains the next most common words, and so on. There are 60 families in each sublist, except for sublist 10 which has 30.
