Abstract

This study aims to analyze Phd theses abstracts in terms of the frequency and function of lexical bundles. A corpus of of the PhD thesis abstracts collections in FLAX in the field of Physical Sciences and Arts and Humanities were compared. A linguistic analysis of the bundles shows that the lexical bundles found in the sub-corpus of Physical Sciences included more clausal elements and subordination, while bundles used in PhD thesis abstracts of Arts and Humanities were more phrasal in nature.
