摘要：
This study investigated the usage of conjunctive adverbials (CAs) in the introduction section of linguistics/TESOL-related and IEEE journal articles written by English native and Taiwanese graduate students. The four corpora compiled by the author were used for analysis. Each of the Taiwanese learner corpora consists of 100 academic articles and per native English-speaking student corpus contains 50 journal papers. On a large-scale, corpus-based study, quantitative results have presented that both Taiwanese EFL learners and English native writers were inclined to use a fixed and limited set of CAs; however, non-native students relied heavily on some of the most commonly used CAs in particular. In addition, the qualitative analysis demonstrated that some of the Taiwanese students used certain CAs such as besides, therefore inappropriately and had problems with the use of some CAs which were less familiar to them. The disciplinary variation in the use of CAs was also revealed under the cross examination of the four sets of writings. Pragmatically, the results of our research may have some direct impacts on scientific or academic English teaching and may also assist learners to employ CAs efficiently in academic writing.
