Abstract

This study investigates lexical bundles in conclusion sections of research articles from hard sciences and soft sciences, focusing on structural and functional patterns. Drawing from multidisciplinary corpora of 180 high-impact, Scopus-indexed articles, the analysis addresses differences in bundle usage through a descriptive quantitative design, incorporating a Z-test analysis and a corpus-based approach. The findings reveal no significant differences in most structural and functional categories (p-values > 0.05), suggesting similar usage patterns between the two corpora. Dependent-clause fragments stand out with a significant difference (Z = -2.1947, p = 0.0282); however, closer examination of its substructures shows no statistically significant differences, likely due to balanced bundle distributions. This indicates that main structural differences may exist, but the substructure patterns are consistent across specific subcategories. Research-oriented bundles are the most prevalent in both corpora, followed by text-oriented and participant-oriented bundles, aligning with prior study. The comparable proportional distribution of structural categories, such as noun and prepositional-phrase bundles, underscores cross-disciplinary alignment, as evidenced by the frequent use of shared bundles like ‘as well as,’ ‘in order to,’ ‘the development of,’ and ‘in the context of’ across hard and soft science disciplines. Despite differences in corpora size, the findings underscore shared structural and functional strategies in RA conclusion writing among authors of high-impact articles, providing insights into effective academic communication and guiding future research on lexical bundle usage.
