Findings revealed substantial differences in the frequency distribution of lexical bundles across the structural categories. More precisely, the study indicated that the student cohort relied heavily on clausal bundles. Expert writers, on the other hand, showed increased use of phrasal bundles, which are considered indicative of proficient academic writing. In terms of function, the analysis showed a preferential attachment to certain lexical bundle functions, with text-oriented bundles occurring significantly in student writing as opposed to research-oriented bundles which were predominantly used in expert writing. These functional differences also suggest diachronic changes in experts’ use of these word sequences due to the discipline’s discursive demands.

Introduction  \nOver the past few decades, EAP research has focussed on the description of various linguistic features indicative of writing proficiency and balanced argumentation. Most of these studies have employed bottom-up corpus-driven approaches to analyse varied word-sets that occur with relatively high frequency in discourse (e.g., Biber, et al., 1999; Byrd & Coxhead, 2010; Simpson & Mendis, 2003; Wray, 2000) while others have devised complex psycholinguistic processing metrics to identify perceptually salient sequences made available for teaching purposes (e.g., Ellis, Simpson-Vlach & Maynard, 2008; Robinson & Ellis, 2008; Simpson-Vlach & Ellis, 2010) . These studies highlight the linguistic resources that L2 students are lacking or the writing skills that the L2 population must retain to achieve native-like proficiency. They are also part of a growing tradition in studying various types of lexico-grammatical features, many of which are central to human communication (see the review of research in Conklin & Schmitt, 2008; Ellis, 1996; Granger & Meunier, 2008; Wray, 2000; Weinert 1995) .  \nResearch in this area has provided important information about domain-specific vocabulary and its phraseology across the full spectrum of scholarly disciplines and genres. More recently, however, there has been more form-focused lexicogrammatical analysis on the phrasal pattern of English often called formulaic language. This term is used to encompass knowledge of different multi-word combinations (MWCs), from the semantically opaque idioms (e.g., bury the hatched) and proverbs (e.g., Birds of a feather flock together) to the relatively transparent collocations (e.g., strong tea) and speech formulas (e.g., what’s up) . The finding that MWCs holds a central position in language learning owes much to Sinclair’s (1991) ‘idiom principle’ which undermined the traditional boundaries between lexis and grammar considering that chunks are the building blocks of language and that they have important implications on “th","cbCaidhwZnDbhLxE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidhwZnDbhLxE","pdf",1240996,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
