We describe a type of plot called wordplot that is designed to visualize the distribution of words in a specific domain in comparison with their distribution in general English.The wordplot is intended to give English teachers and developers of pedagogical materials a convenient way of selecting technical vocabulary. Words in certain regions of these wordplots occur frequently in specific domains and infrequently in general English.A detailed examination showed that the words in these regions were technical vocabularydemonstrating the effectiveness of the wordplots in identifying technical vocabu‑ lary.
