The current research examined the use of lexical bundles in the result sections of research papers by Iranian non-native writers in the field of applied linguistics. The WordSmith Software was applied to identify lexical bundles. In addition, the two analytical frameworks Biber et al. (2004) and Ruiying and Allison (2003) were used to categorize the bundles with regard to their structural features and their moves and steps. Moreover, with the aid of concordance, the identified clusters were analyzed and categorized according to their communicative functions. The results of the current research showed that Iranian writers relied heavily on the use of specific formulaic bundles to perform the communicative functions associated with the moves and steps. The findings also revealed that four moves out of six moves were mostly used by Iranian authors. Moreover, the researchers found that the extensive range of formulaic clusters used to demonstrate Move 2, Reporting results, the least bundles occurred in Move 4, Summarizing results, and also no clusters were used in Move 5, Evaluating the study along with Move 6, Deductions from the research by Iranian writers. The findings of this study boost the awareness of formulaic sequences usage for novice writers in particular discourse and communicative function.

The results of the current research showed that Iranian writers relied heavily on the use of specific formulaic bundles to perform the communicative functions associated with the moves and steps.
Keywords: formulaic clusters, move analysis, research article result section, Applied Linguistics Introduction The concept of genre has been a focus in various linguistics research studies for decades.
Therefore, the present research attempts to investigate and highlight the use of the most commonly used formulaic clusters in the moves and steps of RA result sections written by Iranian L2 writers in order to provide insights into how such result sections are organized and what expressions are the most formulaic.
The present study was an attempt to answer the following questions: RQ1: What are the most frequently used lexical bundles in the result section of the research articles written by Iranian non-native writers in the field of Applied Linguistics?
