Lexical bundles in learner and expert academic writing
Resum
Els paquets lèxics (LBs) s'han descrit com a ‘blocs de construcció del discurs’. A més de ser molt freqüents en l'escriptura, i de reduir el temps de processament per a lectors i escriptors, també exerceixen funcions importants en el llenguatge. No obstant això, l'elecció de LBs pot variar segons el gènere, la disciplina i fins i tot diferents seccions del mateix text, plantejant un desafiament per a estudiants novells. El present article explora l'ús de LBs en un corpus de treballs de fi de grau escrits en anglès per estudiants espanyols de lingüística i medicina. Aquest corpus es compara amb articles de recerca publicats en les mateixes disciplines. Centrant-nos en les seccions d'introducció i conclusió, identifiquem els LBs de 3, 4 i 5 paraules més freqüents en el corpus, per a després estudiar els seus tipus, estructures i funcions retòriques. Els resultats mostren diferències en l'ús de LBs entre disciplines, gèneres i seccions, suggerint implicacions pedagògiques per a la seva inclusió en l'ensenyament de l’escriptura acadèmica en anglès.Paraules clau
