On the basis of previous lexical bundle studies, this paper examines the forms, structures and functions of 4-word bundles in a corpus of textbooks and a corpus of research articles in Biology. The study includes the main biological disciplines and focuses on three major features: the overall distribution of bundles, their typical structures, and their

Typicality of Lexical Bundles in Different Sections of Scientific Articles
2020 2nd Symposium on Signal Processing Systems, 2020This paper proposes a method to quantify the typicality of lexical bundles in sections of academic articles, specifically in the field of Natural Language Processing papers. Typicality is defined as the product of individual KL-divergence scores and the probability of a bundle to appear in a type of section.

Lexical bundles in conversation across Englishes
English World-Wide. A Journal of Varieties of English, 2019AbstractThis study adoptsNelson’s (2014)methodological framework to investigate core and peripheral lexical bundles (i.e. recurrent multi-word sequences) in conversation, using data from the British, Canadian, Singapore, and Hong Kong components of theInternational Corpus of English(ICE). The overlap and non-overlap comparisons reveal (dis)similarities

2016Abstract This chapter investigates a puzzle posed by traditional and contemporary approaches to the lexicon: words (lexical items) are conceived of as both complex and atomic units. Such puzzle has been the focus of much research, with consequences for the overall architecture of grammar, the debate between decompositionalists and ...

Lexical Bundles in Swedish Secondary School Textbooks
2014The present paper describes the process of identifying lexical bundles, i.e., frequently recurring word sequences such as by means of and in the end of, in secondary school history and physics textbooks. In its determination of finding genuine lexical bundles, i.e. the word boundaries between lexical bundles and surrounding arbitrary words, it proposes

Abstract This chapter has two major aims. First, it attempts to extend earlier research on recurrent phraseologies used in the pharmaceutical field (Grabowski 2015) by exploring the use, distribution and functions of lexical bundles found in English texts describing drug-drug interactions.
