This study explores the application of co-occurrence networks in Social Network Analysis (SNA) to vocabulary organization in Chinese for Academic Purposes teaching materials. Originally developed to analyze social structures, SNA employs measures such as nodes, edges, clustering, and centrality to represent relational patterns. In recent years, it has been extended to corpus linguistics to reveal semantic associations and usage patterns among lexical items. Compared with general Chinese teaching materials, Chinese for Academic Purposes teaching materials need to address the organizational relationships among academic vocabulary, lexical clusters, and discourse functions. Previous studies have constructed Chinese academic wordlists based on corpora, providing a foundation for vocabulary selection, yet relatively little attention has been paid to the co-occurrence relationships among words and their pedagogical implications. Based on an existing Chinese academic wordlist, this study analyzes 1,000 texts from THCI and TSSCI Core journals using the CORPRO corpus tool to construct lexical co-occurrence networks. The lexical items are classified into three categories: academic content words, academic discourse-function words, and general function words. The analysis mainly focuses on the co-occurrence network of academic content words, examining central words, co-occurrence modules, and lexical cluster structures. It also considers the co-occurrence relationships between academic content words and academic discourse-function words to explore their potential transformation into academic Chinese sentence patterns, paragraph cohesion, and discourse-function instruction. The results show that lexical co-occurrence networks not only supplements frequency-based wordlists but also reveals relational structures and modular distributions among academic content words. These findings offer valuable insights for material developers in moving from frequency-based vocabulary ordering toward a more systematic arrangement of lexical clusters, collocations, and discourse functions. Furthermore, this study proposes methodological and practical implications for applying lexical co-occurrence networks to vocabulary organization in Chinese for Academic Purposes teaching materials. |
