Abstract

This study examines the formulaicity of English formulaic sequences in the listening and reading sections of Japan’s Common Test for University Admissions. Analyzing the Common Test corpus, continuous lexical bundles and discontinuous p-frames were extracted and evaluated using various indices. The findings indicate that the reading section predominantly features bundles akin to those found in written language, whereas the listening section exhibits patterns more typical of spoken language. Additionally, the study reveals that p-frames in the reading section exhibit significantly greater variability than those in the listening section. This suggests a more nuanced and balanced phrase usage in the reading section. The results offer valuable insights that could influence the development and evaluation methods of large-scale language tests.
