Abstract

Multi-word expressions referred to as lexical bundles are the important ‘discourse building blocks’ to construct and signal fluent writing, particularly in an attempt to produce high-quality research articles that can be accepted by reputable journals. A number of studies have reported the use of lexical bundles in various sections of research articles, including introductions as the holder of research rationale. In spite of that, attention is barely paid to the comparison between accepted and rejected manuscripts. With the intention to fill this gap, this study is aimed to investigate whether the manifestation of lexical bundles will differ between the introduction sections of accepted and rejected research articles in applied linguistics. A total of 15 introductions for each data group were observed under the frameworks of lexical bundles structures (Biber et al., 2004) and functions (Hyland, 2008b). Noun phrase-based and research-oriented bundles were respectively detected as the most prevalent main structure and function. Closer inspection, however, exposed a greater frequency and variety of lexical bundles in accepted introductions. Even so, this study confirmed the two datasets to possess different subcategories of lexical bundles in several cases. The findings of this study can be treated as a source to deepen the comprehension of lexical bundles use in preparing related future studies.
