“…The grammatical the organization of formulaic sequences forms the base for the structural classification. Depending on whether they contain nouns, prepositional phrases, verbs, or clause fragments, lexical bundles are classified as follows: (1) grammatical groups which contain word or phrase fragments (also known as "nominal lexical bundles" or "prepositional lexical bundles"); (2) lexical bundles that contain verb phrase fragments (also known as "verbal lexical bundles"); and (3) word or phrase fragments contain sentence sequences [7]. The basis for methodically examining lexical bundles from a is laid out by Bieber et al's structural its classification of lexical categories, In a classic analysis of the lexical bundle, it found that phrases have significant connections with one another various sentence structure, or idiomatic expressions structures, and 12 classes of lexical groups in academic discourse were identified [11].…”

“…Lexical Bundles are a type of multiword unit, and 'phraseology' and 'formulaic sequences/language' are two words used to describe them [6]. Lexical bundles will be among the main types of formulaic linguistic constructions, and they have recently attracted the attention of numerous scholars who have realized how prevalent they are in both spoken and written language [7].…”

The aim of this research is to analyse the structure of three-word Lexical Bundles in the Journal of Cultural Heritage articles vol.55. The data were collected by using the documentation method, then analysed by using classification as conducted by Hajar. The result of the research is 23 lexical bundles were only structurally grouped into eight structure forms. They are Noun phrases with of-phrase fragments (the development of, the level of, the use of, the case of, a range of), Noun phrases with other post-modifier fragments (such as the), Other prepositional phrase (fragment) (in many field, in most cases, an increase in, of cultural heritage, of the sample, of an object), Anticipatory it + verb phrase/adjective phrase (it has been), Passive verb + prepositional phrase fragment (are typically used, have been carried), Copula be + noun phrase/adjective phrase (due to the, has an important, prior to discovery, are found in), to-clause fragment (to meet the, to their long), and Other expressions (as well as, and can be). Based on the data, the researcher draws the conclusion that structure Other prepositional phrase (fragment), which included six bundles, was the most structural form of lexical bundles employed in those articles. They are "in most cases, an increase in, of cultural heritage, of the sample, of an object". The bundle has been used frequently in almost all articles in the journals of cultural heritage introductions. The outcome of this article is anticipated to include references to analyse of the lexical bundle's structure.

“…One of these formulaic structures in linguistics has been studied as so-called lexical bundles [13], such as 'on the other hand', 'as can be seen' or 'it is recommended that'. Researchers focus predominantly on more or less specialized discourses: academic discourse [14], medical leaflets [15] and legal texts, the latter from perspectives such as genre [16], linguistic structure [6], translation strategies [17] or legal semantics [18].…”

“…Lexical bundles and other formulaic sequences are considered to be the building blocks of a given discourse ( [20], [6]) which improve processing efficiency in communication [21]. One's command of such multi-word sequences is also said to have a sociological value for signalling an individual's belonging to a community [12] or a pedagogical value in teaching and mastering of specialized discourses [22].…”

The paper follows the tradition of research in legal linguistics and into formulaic language, specifically into lexical bundles. The aim of the paper is to describe lexical bundles in samples from the corpus of Slovak judicial decisions OD-JUSTICE by means of quantitative characteristics of the identified bundles and by their comparison with bundles found in two other specialized corpora: the corpus of Slovak legal regulations and the corpus of annual reports by Slovak public institutions. For the identification of bundles, the concept of the h-point was used. Identified bundles are described with respect to their maximal, minimal, average, median and mode values, distributions and ratios. The aim of the paper is to outline an interpretation of these bundle characteristics with regard to communicative function(s) of compared document genres.

“…Simpson-Vlach & Ellis 2010; Martinez & Schmitt 2012;Salazar 2014). One may also note the scarcity of cross-linguistic studies focusing on recurrent n-grams or LBs, with the notable exceptions of Forchini and Murphy (2008), Granger (2014), Oksefjell Ebeling and Ebeling (2016), Biel (2017), Berūkštienė (2017), Grabowski (2018a) or Grabar and Lefer (2015). Approaching those peculiar MWUs from the perspective of translation, the last-mentioned study is targeted at identification of LBs in English and French EU parliamentary debates in order to develop bilingual lexicons to be further used in computer-assisted translation tools or machine translation tools.…”

In this paper, we make an attempt to improve the textual fit of English-to-Polish translation of a peculiar type of multi-word units known in corpus linguistic literature as lexical bundles (Biber et al. 1999). Inspired by a study conducted by Grabar and Lefer (2015), we used the English-Polish parallel corpus Paralela (Pęzik 2016) and the National Corpus of Polish (NKJP) to extract and explore the usein terms of frequency distributions -of the Polish equivalents of selected English lexical bundles expressing attitudinal and epistemic stance. More precisely, we used the NKJP corpus to check whether the Polish equivalents are typical of contemporary Polish as found in native texts. The results of this corpus-informed study revealed a high number of Polish equivalents, both single-and multi-word units, expressing stance. Also, the results showed that the majority of Polish equivalents are frequently used in native Polish texts and therefore they can potentially help enhance the textual fit of translations. Finally, we discussed limitations of the methods and corpora used in this preliminary study and presented suggestions on how it can be pursued further in the future to better explore the usefulness of lexical bundles for translation teaching and translation practice. To that end, we also presented proposals of in-class translation activities.

Abstract: Formulaicity is one of the characteristic features of legal discourse, which manifests itself not only at the level of wording, "but also in the content, structure and layout"
