Abstract This paper presents a corpus-based, pattern grammar-driven analysis of N1 of N2 constructions in academic written discourse. Different from other approaches to phraseology, the pattern grammar approach focuses on schematic grammatical patterns with a high degree of lexical variation rather than continuous word sequences or word sequences with a single open lexical slot. Using a corpus of research article introductions in applied linguistics annotated for rhetorical moves and steps, we identified instances of the N1 of N2 pattern and analyzed these instances in terms of frequency distribution, general discourse functions, and the rhetorical functions with which they were strongly associated. The analysis provides a comprehensive functional description of the N1 of N2 pattern in the context of disciplinary academic writing. Our findings have methodological implications for phraseology analysis and the development of pedagogically useful constructicons of academic English.

学术书面语篇中N2结构的N1：模式语法分析

摘要 本文提出了一种基于语料库、模式语法驱动的学术书面语篇中 N2 结构的 N1 分析。与其他用语方法不同，模式语法方法侧重于具有高度词汇变化的示意性语法模式，而不是连续的词序列或具有单个开放词槽的词序列。使用为修辞动作和步骤注释的应用语言学研究文章介绍语料库，我们确定了 N1 的 N2 模式的实例，并根据频率分布、一般话语功能以及与它们密切相关的修辞功能分析了这些实例. 该分析在学科学术写作的背景下提供了 N1 的 N2 模式的综合功能描述。
