摘要

比特币在过去几年中极大地改变了金融世界，本研究探讨了比特币的独特语言特点。由于比特币、加密货币及其背后的数字网络的概念尚未在 LSP（特定用途语言）教材中涉及，本小规模研究旨在填补这一空白。为了了解必须掌握哪些术语才能理解比特币的基本问题，我们使用了涉及这一创新技术及其监管系统的在线资料。所选在线文本由 TextStat 软件进行分析，该软件能够进行词数统计和搭配频率分析。结果向我们展示了比特币和区块链处理在上下文中最常见的搭配，以及最常用的词（如加密货币或交换），商务英语专业的学生肯定需要学习这些词。我开展这项研究的目的是让 LSP 教师全面了解在处理加密货币话题时应向学生教授哪些术语。此外，比特币相关词汇还可以融入其他学科，如经济学、金融学或技术，让学生探索不同知识领域之间的联系。关键词：比特币比特币、加密货币、区块链、搭配、在线

An Exploratory Corpus-Based Linguistic Analysis of ‘Bitcoin’ in Online Articles

This study explores the unique linguistic characteristics of bitcoin, which has significantly changed the financial world over the past few years. As the concept of bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the digital network behind them are not dealt with in LSP (Language for Specific Purposes) coursebooks yet, this small-scale research is intended to fill this niche. In order to see what terminology has to be acquired to be able to understand the basic issues about bitcoin, online sources dealing with this innovative technology and its regulatory systems have been used. The selected online texts are analysed by TextStat software, which is capable of making word counts and collocation frequency. The results show us the most common collocations with bitcoin, and blockchain processing within context, as well as the most frequently used words (e.g., cryptocurrency or exchange), which definitely need to be learned by students majoring in Business English. My aim with this research is that LSP teachers get a comprehensive picture of what terminology to teach to their student when dealing with the topic of cryptocurrencies. In addition, bitcoin-related vocabulary can be integrated into other subjects, such as economics, finance or technology, allowing students to explore the connections between different fields of knowledge. Keywords: Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain, collocation, online
