Lexical Bundles in Hard vs. Soft Disciplines from 24 Research Articles

Lexical bundles extracted data is based on research results from 24 selected articles investigating differences in lexical bundle usage between hard and soft academic disciplines. The dataset was created by Godwin Ioratim-Uba and last updated on figshare in April 2026. It was used to research stability and systematic patterns in disciplinary variation to evidence individual differences in disciplinary literacy learners.

Use Cases

• Analyzing frequency and types of lexical bundles based on the described hard vs. soft discipline comparison.
• Training models for academic genre classification based on described lexical bundle patterns.
• Studying the stability of linguistic patterns across disciplines as mentioned in the research description.

Strengths

• Data is derived from 24 research articles, providing a defined source corpus.
• Dataset has a clear research purpose focused on comparing hard and soft disciplines.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 29.1 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
