“…Some studies have dealt with the linguistic and discursive aspects of the widely read masterworks: Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations (Bazerman, 1993;Henderson, 2006), Marshall's Elements of Economics (Del Lungo Camiciotti, 2005), and Keynes' General Theory (Bondi, 2010). Other studies have instead focused on the distinctive characteristics of key written economics genres used for the transmission and dissemination of knowledge: prediction in schematic structure in research articles (Dudley-Evans & Henderson, 1990), and economic metaphor in media articles or textbooks (Alejo, 2010;Boers, 2000;Charteris-Black, 2000;Henderson, 1982Henderson, , 1994Henderson, , 2000Hu, 2014;Sun & Jiang, 2014;White, 2003).…”

Growth is a concept of particular interest for economic discourse. This paper sets out to explore a small corpus of economic growth, which consists of articles from The Economist. The corpus software used in this study is a web-based tool Wmatrix, an automatic tagging software able to assign semantic field (domain) tags, and to permit the extraction of key words and key semantic domains by applying the keyness calculation to tag frequency lists. The results show that at 99% confidence (or p < 0.01), the cut-off of 6.63 (log likelihood value) indicates that there are 1051 positive keywords (including multiword expressions) and 80 key semantic domains generated from the corpus. It is evident that BRICs or the emerging economies/markets, in particular China and India, are a big concern regarding economic growth over the past years. A number of examples of possible ways forward in teaching methodology are presented.
