As the most frequent word sequence in register,lexical bundles are the basic components of discourse.Their use is of great help to the fluency and accuracy of academic writing.In the past two decades,the study of lexical bundles has focused on the body part of academic papers,but less on the abstract.In order to identify and compare the differences in the use of lexical bundles in English abstracts between international and Chinese authors,this paper selects English abstracts from Chinese and International high-level academic journals in the discipline of linguistics from 2018 to 2020 to build two corpora of English abstracts of academic writings:Corpus of English Abstracts from International Linguistics Journal Articles(ILJA)and Corpus of English Abstracts from Chinese Linguistics Journal Articles(CLJA).This paper analyzes the differences of English abstract writing between Chinese and international high-level linguistics journals,and provides enlightenment for abstract writing and teaching.
