摘要：

This study chose ninety-three English majors in two different directions (English Translation and Business English) as the subjects, whose composition is apart of the final test at the end of each term (a total of six terms) and measures the subjects' lexical development in three dimensions (productive vocabulary, lexical diversity, and usage frequency of vague and abstract vocabulary) by using two corpus tools Range and Writer 's Workbench. The results show that the vocabulary size of university English majors is enlarged in college, however, the number of productive vocabulary is limited, the level of lexical diversity decreases, and vague and abstract vocabulary are overused by English majors.
