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

从以下角度看：应用语言学中的词汇束功能分析研究文​​章

当前的研究在200篇应用语言学研究文章的语料库中探讨了词汇束的两个层次，即核心（即一般）和外围（即领域特定），并检查了它们的功能。使用Antconc软件，总共确定了2563个词汇包，包括593个核心包和1370个外围包。这些数字分别占捆绑词全部清单的30％和70％，分别占8.54％和100万个单词的主体的7.76％。功能分析表明，核心和外围捆绑软件遵循相同的模式，面向文本的捆绑软件位于列表的顶部，其次是面向研究和面向参与者的捆绑软件。外围捆绑超过核心捆绑，为外围捆绑存在更多多样性提供了证据。
