Abstract

Islami, Sisilia Agustin Dini. 2019. Structures and Functions of Lexical Bundles in the Literature Review of Undergraduate Students’ Final Projects. Thesis, English Language Education, Pascasarjana, Universitas Negeri Semarang. Advisor: I. Sri Wuli Fitriati, S. Pd., M.Pd.,Ph.D., II. Prof. Dr. Januarius Mujiyanto, M.Hum. Keywords: lexical bundle, structure and function of lexical bundle, literature review, final projects, corpus study This research aimed at analyzing the use of lexical bundle (LB) structurally and functionally, the relation between their structures and functions, and also their contribution to communicative purpose of literature review (LR) of students’ final projects. The researcher formulates four research problems; (1) How are the structures of LB manifested in the literature review of students’ final projects? (2) How are the functional types of LB manifested in the literature review? (3) How is the relation between structural forms and functional types of LB manifested in the literature review? and (4) How do the relation between structural forms and functional types of LB contribute to LR’s move structures to achieve its communicative purpose? This research was a corpus study. In the process of analyzing, four instruments in the form of tables were used to collect and analyze four-word LB manually based on their structures, functions, and contribution to communicative purpose of the text through analyzing them in move structures of LR. There were 26 LB found in this study which was divided into 4 main result discussions. First, the researcher found that most structural form of LB used in students’ texts was Type 1 Noun phrase with of-phrase fragment which was used for a variety of abstract qualities. Second, research-oriented was a function of LB which was used frequently. It consisted of 11 bundles categorized into procedure, quantification, and description. Third, the researcher found three relations between structures and functions identified from all of LBs identified; (1) Relation I consists of research-oriented function and four structure types of LB, (2) Relation II consists of text-oriented function and three structure types of LB, and (3) Relation III consists of participant-oriented function and three structure types of LB. Fourth, the researcher found that; (1) relation I had contributed to 11 LR’s move structures, (2) relation II had contributed to 9 move structures of LR, and (3) relation III had been contributed to 10 move structures of LR. In conclusion, all structures of LB related to all LBs’ functions have a great contribution to LR’s move structures, function and format. It is reasonable to argue that they contribute to achieve communicative purpose of LR.
