回复: 请教:"lexical bundle"与"Ngram"的区别
from my perspective, you generate lexical bundles from Ngram software, such as KiwicFinder or the online one edited by Tom Cobb.
Definition of Lexical Bundle: Lexical bundles are the sequences of words that reoccur the most frequent in spoken and written texts.
Function of Lexical Bundle: Lexical bundles are usually not structurally complete and not idiomatic in meaning, but they serve important discourse functions in both spoken and written texts. They are important building blocks in discourse. Lexical bundles provide a kind of pragmatic ‘head’ for larger phrases and clauses, where they function as discourse frames for the expression of new information.
