Discourse Characteristics of Writing and Speaking Task Types on the "TOEFL iBT"® Test: A Lexico-Grammatical Analysis. "TOEFL iBT"® Research Report. TOEFL iBT-19. Research Report. RR-13-04. (2013, methodology): “Previous research provides 64 detailed descriptions of the patterns of linguistic variation across a very wide range of spoken and written registers (see, e.g., Biber, 1988, 2006; Biber & Conrad, 2009; Biber, Conrad & Cortes, 2004; Biber et al., 1999).”
Core academic language skills: An expanded operational construct and a novel instrument to chart school-relevant language proficiency in preadolescent and adolescent learners (2014, background): “…of difficulty was informed by databases of students’ word knowledge (Biemiller, 2010; LWV, Dale & O’Rourke, 1981), word frequency in school texts (Zeno et al., 1995), and academic lexical bundles derived from corpus analyses (Biber et al., 2004; Cortes, 2004, 2006; Simpson-Vlach & Ellis, 2010).”
Lexical bundles in university spoken and written registers (2007, methodology): “Previous studies have indicated that lexical bundles are generally much more common in spoken discourse than in written discourse (Biber, Conrad, & Cortes, 2004; Biber et al., 1999, chap.”
Lexical bundles in L1 and L2 academic writing (2010, positive): “In another study, Cortes (2004) compared native student writing with that in academic journals, concluding that students rarely used the lexical bundles identified in the corpus of published writing.”
As can be seen: Lexical bundles and disciplinary variation (2008, background): “Yet while studies point to the considerable variation of bundles in different genres (e.g. Biber, 2006; Biber, Conrad, & Cortes, 2004; Hyland, forthcoming; Scott & Tribble, 2006), how far they differ by discipline remains uncertain.”
Investigating Criterial Discourse Features across Second Language Development: Lexical Bundles in Rated Learner Essays, CEFR B1, B2 and C1 (2014, methodology): “…by a frequency-driven approach, the multi-word units derived in this way are found to have customary pragmatic and/or discourse functions that are used and recognized by the speakers of a language within certain contexts (e.g. Biber et al. 2004; Cortes 2004; Biber and Barbieri 2007; Hyland 2008).”
The Processing of Formulaic Sequences by Second Language Speakers. (2007, methodology): “The 26 formulas were from several corpus-based studies (e.g., Biber & Conrad, 1999; Cortes, 2004; Lenk, 1999).”
Lexical bundle analysis in mathematics classroom discourse: the significance of stance (2010, background): “words that frequently recur together, in a single group, in a particular register (Biber et al., 2006; Cortes, 2004).”
Beyond Vocabulary: Exploring Cross-Disciplinary Academic-Language Proficiency and Its Association With Reading Comprehension (2015, background): “The selection of frequent academic markers at different levels of difficulty was informed by databases of students’ word knowledge (LWV, Dale & O’Rourke, 1981), word frequency in school texts (Zeno et al., 1995) and academic lexical bundles derived from corpus analyses (Biber, Conrad & Cortes 2004; ”
