Exploring ESP Lexicology: An Exploratory Analysis of Student- and AI-Generated productions

Atheena Johnson

Résumé

This exploratory study was conducted in an ESP university classroom in France, where 58, undergraduate psychology students generated typewritten productions in English, representing 14,017 words. The students were enrolled in an intermediate level ESP psychology course which aimed to acquaint them with psychological concepts while enhancing their linguistic competence via Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The productions were collected in real-to-life conditions within a public higher education institution. I juxtaposed the student-generated productions with productions generated by the artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT 3.5, to scrutinise the ESP lexicology. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the use of domain-specific terminology, collocations, phraseology, and the presence of discourse markers between student-generated and AI-generated texts. There were mixed results in the enquiry: concerning lexical diversity, the ChatGPT production did not demonstrate a solution for enhancing ESP lexicology, concerning lexical sophistication, however, the ChatGPT 3.5 generation produced more sophisticated lexicon, which could be interpreted as a potential tool for enhancing ESP lexicology.
