as a member of larger familyof formulaic sequences , lexical bundles play different discourse functions in written research articles. this study investigated the use of four-word lexical bundles in published research articles in medicine via natural language processing by computational linguistics. a corpus of 2,420,914 words was extracted from 790 research articles in 33 medical disciplines. f...

Lewis (1993) recognized significance of word combinations including collocations by presenting lexical approach. Because of the crucial role of collocation in vocabulary acquisition, this research set out to evaluate the rate of collocations in Iranian EFL learners' writing production across L1 and L2. In addition, L1 interference with L2 collocational use in the learner' writing samples was st...

Six types of weight changes that occur when food is cooked by different methods are described. For five of these types, true retentions of nutrients (defined as calculations based on nutrient content of known weights of food before and after cooking) were compared with apparent retentions (defined as calculations based on nutrient content of moisture-free raw and cooked foods). Comparisons incl...
