Clusters, Bundles, and Lexical Sets in Language Study
Clusters, bundles, and lexical sets play crucial roles in language analysis. Clusters refer to words frequently found together, while bundles are groups of lexico-grammatical elements co-occurring in genres like newspaper editorials. Visual sets in multimodal texts exhibit integrated relationships between visual and verbal elements. Priming can influence clusters and bundles to appear selectively in texts. Explore these concepts through case studies like Bundaberg Beer ads and translations of films like "Il Cinema Paradiso."

LEZIONE 4 Clusters, bundles, lexical sets, priming Visual sets Translation
Coherence 1: clusters According to Scott words which are found repeatedly in each other s company (cf. collocation) are clusters.
Coherence 2: bundles Biber (1999) refers to lexical bundles. i.e. the identification of groups (bundles) of lexico- grammatical elements that co-occur with more than usual frequency in particular genres eg. newspaper editorials (present tense, deontic modals, etc.)
Visual sets Similarly, in multimodal texts, visual items will re- occur and co-occur in the same way, and in an integrated relationship with the verbal elements, forming clusters of semiotic modalities. See MCA for an example of a relational database designed to promote the analysis of this phenomenon.
Priming Clusters and bundles can be primed (Hoey) to appear only in specific parts of a text or specific circumstances of discourse production. I love you too.
