Lexical bundles were e...

Researchers use four moves to show how their work is important, relevant, and novel: (1) Explain the significance of the research area, (2) Describe the status quo (current state of research) in the field, (3) Identify a " gap " in that research, and (4) Fill that gap with your project. This handout offers examples to highlight possible lexical bundles used to complete each move. Here, you shou...

Unlike Lexical Projections, Functional Projections (Extended Projections) are more of an ‘abstract’ in nature. Therefore, Functional Projections seem to be acquired later than Lexical Projections by the L2 learners. The present study investigates Iranian L2 learners’ acquisition of English Extended Projections taking into account their level of grammatical proficiency. Specifically, the aim is ...
