Many researchers have focused on investigating and exploring the different rhetorical moves in the different sections of the RAs. However, empirical findings that linked particular frequent lexical bundles to moves or steps in moves have been limited. Specifically, three research questions were proposed in this study. (1) What are the shared lexical bundles frequently used between social sciences and physical sciences? (2) What are the lexical bundles exclusively used in social sciences or physical sciences? (3) How do lexical bundles connect to the moves and steps in research article introductions? The corpus-based analysis was applied in the present study. The corpus is comprised of a total of 1200 published RA introductions in well-known international journals, including approximately 1.3 million words. The RA introduction sections are from a variety of academic disciplines, which are chemistry, mathematics, physics, economics, linguistics, and psychology. The wordlist and the concord function were employed to extract the frequent lexical bundles in the research article introductions. A total of 211 frequent lexical bundles were extracted and the bundle lists were compiled. There are a total of 80 lexical bundles commonly used both in social sciences and physical sciences. For social sciences, there are 76 bundles exclusively used. There are 55 bundles exclusively used in the field of physical sciences. In terms of the word length, there are 104 four-word bundles, 64 five-word bundles, 20 six-word bundles, 11 seven-word bundles, and 12 eight-word and longer bundles identified in the corpus. The structure and function of the identified bundles are also examined in the present study. For the structural classification, there are more four-word bundles incorporating noun phrase or prepositional phrase fragments in the structure. As the word length increase, bundles including noun phrase and verb phrase increase. As for functional classification, researchers in both disciplines tend to use discourse organizers to help construct the research. A further step in the analysis matched these lexical bundles to the moves and steps so as to answer the third research question. Some lexical bundles were exclusively linked to one move or step in a move while others occurred across more than one move and steps. Among all the moves, move 1 step 3 contains the most lexical bundles. There are 97 lexical bundles identified to review the items of previous literature. As for the bundles only used in the certain move or step, there are 48 bundles exclusively identified in move 3 step 7 for outlining the structure of the paper. The findings indicate that there are similarities and differences between the lexical bundles used by researchers from different disciplines. The researcher suggests that English instructors and teachers can introduce the list of lexical bundles and the corresponding moves and steps in the academic courses. Some pedagogical implications for future research are proposed.文步字串語料庫分析moveslexical bundlescorpus analysis
