- Abstract
Lexical bundles have drawn a lot of linguists’ attention during the past few decades. It is important to investigate the lexical bundles utilised in different genres because Biber and Conrad’s (1999) study demonstrated that some lexical bundles can be genre characteristic. The goal of the current study was to look into the lexical bundles in international journal of economics and law. A fair quantity of tokens from both journals were attempted to be included. In comparison to the articles from the “Journal of Economics,” which comprised 50 files, 613.793 word tokens, and 26.435 word types, the “Journal of Law” articles took up 50 files, 354.942 word tokens, and 21192 word types. The corpus contained 968.735 tokens distributed among 100 files in total. The bundles were then evaluated and classified using Biber et al. (2004)’s structural and functional taxonomy of lexical bundles. Structural analysis revealed that lexical bundles with dependent sentence fragments and prepositional phrase fragments were the most often produced type in the international Journal of Economics and Law. Most of the bundles were successful in acting as referential expressions for the functions. News pieces, lexical bundles, and the worldwide journal of economic and law published by Elsevier.
