formulaic sequence (fs) is a general term often used to refer to various types of recurrent clusters. one particular type of fss common in different registers is lexical bundles (lbs). this study investigated whether lbs are stored and processed as a whole in the mind of language users and whether their functional discourse type has any effect on their processing. to serve these objectives, thr...

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...

Formulaic sequence (FS) is a general term often used to refer to various types of recurrent clusters. One particular type of FSs common in different registers is lexical bundles (LBs). This study investigated whether LBs are stored and processed as a whole in the mind of language users and whether their functional discourse type has any effect on their processing. To serve these objectives, thr...

this paper investigates the use of ‘lexical bundles’ in two broad corpora of journalistic writing. the aim of this study is to compare the use of lexical bundles in the two domains, one consisted of newspaper articles written in english and published in england and the other one comprised of newspaper articles written in persian from iranian publications. for this purpose, the frequency of occu...

Abstract: Lexical bundles, as building blocks of coherent discourse, have been the subject of much research in the last two decades. While many of such studies have been mainly concerned with  exploring  variations  in  the  use  of  these  word  sequences  across  different  registers  and disciplines, very few have addressed the use of some particular groups of lexical bundles within some gen...

Motion capture data often requires substantial processing before it becomes useful. We propose a technique that automatically distills a compact motion graph from an arbitrary collection of motion capture data. At its heart, the process identifies clusters of similar motions which we call “motion bundles”. Motion bundles and their encompassing motion graph provide a readily understandable struc...

Lexical bundles are known as important elements of coherent discourse that have been the subject of much research. While the previous research has been mainly concerned with exploring variations in the use of these word sequences across different registers and disciplines, very few studies have addressed the use of some particular groups of lexical bundles within some types of academic writing....
