Analysis of Research Articles in Applied Linguistics Using an Approach Combining Moves and Lexical bundles: Toward Developing a Support Tool for Writing Research Articles in English 21
Writing an academic research paper poses many challenges for novice researchers in that it requires, in addition to a good understanding of a specific research topic, the knowledge of "move," or the writer\u27s communicative purpose of discourse and "lexical bundles," or multi-word sequences. In order to help struggling writers of an academic research paper (especially those in English as a foreign language contexts), we will develop a web-based writing support tool. As an initial step toward the goal, in this study, we compiled a large corpus of published articles in the field of applied linguistics. By tagging the moves, we then extracted lexical bundles characteristic to those moves. The results confirm the effectiveness of the approach, which combine the move analysis of Swalesian genre theory and lexical bundles. Pedagogical implications are discussed based on the findings.本研究は，平成27年度関西大学研究拠点形成支援経費（課題名：国際的な研究拠点としての関西大学英語ライティング・ハブの設立および英語論文ライティング支援ツールの開発）の助成を受けて実施された
