本研究旨在研究全球走勢及英國經濟學人雜誌中關鍵字FINANCIAL CRISI出現頻率。藉由全球貨幣組織所提供的經濟走勢圖以分析關鍵字出現之頻率。
主語料庫共包括雜誌中二00七年至二OO九年共11,463,349字。研究結果顯示全球GDP成長率走勢與關鍵字如FINANCIAL CRISIS及ECONOMIC CRISIS之出現頻率呈反比。雜誌中關鍵字走向從偏重政治議題如POLITICAL,MINISTER轉至經濟議題如PRICES,FINANCAIL及BANKS。結果也顯示二00八年的金融風暴對全球經濟走勢發生影響,關鍵字如LOOMING, SUFFERED。
本研究意旨提供ESP經濟議題中的以尋找具效率及實用的解決方法。研究者也衷心期望此研究能提供金融專家及政府官方作為其一之參考，以穩定全球經濟走向為出發點，進一步延伸至全球局勢之穩定及和諧。

In the generation of global village, the occurrence of one incident in one nation results in relating effects to other nations. In comparison with the past decades, the connections between nations and nations have been inseparably close. The 2008 financial crisis had caused low employment rates and downturn in economy around the world. Thus, this research aims to study the relation between the trend of global economic growth and the frequency of the keyword “financial crisis” appearing in the business magazine The Economist by comparing the economic growth map which is provided by the International Monetary Foundation (IMF) with the keywords in the magazine. A working corpus (11,463,349 running words) of this magazine (2007- 2009) has been constructed to compare the world gross domestic product rate with the relevant keywords used in this magazine. The results indicate that the trend of the global economic growth is inversely proportional to the frequency rates of the related keywords such as “FINANCIAL CRISIS” and “ECONOMIC CRISIS.” Keywords in the magazine changed from centering on politics-related issues, such as “POLITICAL” and “MINISTER”, to economic topics such as “PRICES,” “FINANICAL” and “BANKS.” It also shows that the outlook of the global economic development had a great influence because the related keywords, such as LOOMING and SUFFERED, appeared in 2008 when economic crisis broke out. Thus, the current findings intend to serve as a pedagogical guideline in the ESP or a pilot study aiming to search for a practical and efficient strategy in order to solve the difficult situation in economy, and hopefully to serve as a guide study for financial specialists and government officials to refer to in order to take actions on stabilizing the global situations in both economic and political aspects.
