Abstract

In the light of Swain’s output hypothesis, the article first analyzes the possibility of chunk application in college English writing; introduces the types and pragmatic functions of chunks and the extraction from corpus data. Based on the corpus research, the strategies and approaches are discussed about how corpora facilitate lexical chunking in English writing. Finally, concrete advice is given on chunk application to achieve accuracy and fluency in writing.
