Assess ability to apply corpus-based methods to identify, quantify, and interpret lexical bundles and stance in introductions of graduate-level research articles in English; tasks include designing and sampling a corpus, preprocessing text, extracting n-grams/lexical bundles, computing frequency, dispersion and association measures (e.g., MI, log‑likelihood), conducting concordance and collocation analyses, classifying bundles by functional and stance categories, performing comparative statistical tests across disciplines, visualizing results, and writing a concise interpretation with limitations and pedagogical/research implications.
