Description
Abstract
The current study explored two levels of formulaic sequences, general and discipline specific, in a corpus of 200
applied linguistics research articles and examined the functions they serve. Using Antconc software, in total,
2563 sequences were identified
including 593 general and 1370 discipline
-
specific sequences. These numbers
account for 30% and 70% of the full list of formulaic sequences, covering 8.54% in comparison to 7.76% of
one
-
million
-
word corpus
,
respectively. Functional analysis revealed that g
eneral and discipline
-
specific
formulaic sequences follow the same pattern, with text
-
oriented sequences making it to the top of the list
followed by research
-
oriented and participant
-
oriented sequences. Discipline
-
specific sequences surpassed
general sequ
ences, providing evidence for the existence of more diversity of discipline
-
specific formulaic
sequences. Structural and functional correlates also showed that the form of formulaic sequences is closely
related to the functional use of the sequences rather
than whether they are general or specific
domain
