摘　　要：词块是语言地道性的重要标志,亦是连贯语篇的基石,具有明显的语域、体裁和学科特征。本研究采用语料库驱动方法,对比分析应用语言学领域中外学者国际期刊论文中四词词块的使用特征。结果表明,中国学者比英语母语学者更依赖于使用词块来构建学术语篇,基本遵循以of-短语为主的学术写作惯例。结构上,中国学者偏重于小句类词块,而英语母语学者更倾向于短语类词块。功能上,中国学者侧重文本导向词块,以推理、因果和对比标记功能最为突出,而英语母语学者更倾向于研究导向功能,尤其是描述功能词块的使用。研究还发现中国学者学术文本呈现出大量特有词块,这与中西文化差异、英汉两种不同语言以及学术传统有着密切的关系。研究发现对中国英语学习者的词块习得和学术英语写作教学有一定参考价值。As a key component of fluent linguistic production,multi-word sequences referred to lexical bundles are considered an important distinguishing feature of discourse of different registers,genres,and disciplines.Adopting the corpus-driven approach,the study examines the convergent and divergent usage of 4-word lexical bundles in English research articles by L1-English and Chinese writers in the field of applied linguistics.The results show that Chinese scholars rely more on lexical bundles than L1-English scholars,and generally conform to the English academic writing practice that dominated by of-phrases.Structurally,the Chinese group is characterized by clausal constructions whereas the L1-English group is featured by phrasal constructions.Functionally,Chinese writers,in comparison to the L1-English writers,utilize more text-oriented bundles,especially the inferential,causative,comparison and contrast bundles.In contrast,L1-English writers employ more research-oriented bundles,particularly the description bundles.The study also finds some distinctive bundles in Chinese writers'academic texts,which may be attributed to the different orientations of Chinese and Western cultures,the different syntactic structures of the English-language and Chinese-language,and their divergent academic traditions.The findings provide the implications for second language acquisition of lexical bundles and English academic writing curriculum in China.
