Lexical bundles are defined as a sequence of three or more words that indicate a statistical tendency to occur together in a register. This research focuses on identifying the frequency, structure, and function of lexical bundles in registers of regulations and letters. This is a corpus based research with inductive approach. The corpus of data in this research are 1,019,326 words that come from 5 different kinds of text, which are laws, presidential regulations, ministerial regulations, formal letters and business letters. The frequency limit used to identify lexical bundles in this study is 20 times in at least 5 different texts. The result shows that there are 345 lexical bundles with three to seven words sequences, such as sebagaimana dimaksud pada, oleh karena itu, and yang dimaksud dengan. From those five texts, laws has the most lexical bundles. Meanwhile, in the analysis of the structure of three words bundles from those five texts are dominated by the complete structural pattern (56.85%), such as verbal phrase (e.g. dilakukan dengan cara), whereas the incomplete structural pattern (43.15%) is dominated by verbal phrase + preposition with the word "yang" as its modifier (e.g. yang diatur dalam). Related to the function of lexical bundles, it was found that there were functions that were oriented to the regulatory and textual aspects, while there were no functions that were oriented towards the interaction between the writer and the reader.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
