| Description | This paper compares the use and functions of lexical bundles indicating authorial presence in a specialized corpus of Master’s degree theses written by German and Czech university students. It discusses similarities in the way Czech and German novice writers use the target structures and explores the reasons for the existing divergences which may be attributed to a difference in the degree of adaptation to Anglo-American writing conventions. |
