The purpose of this study is to analyze the frequency and the structural patterns of the lexical bundles of tourism research paper abstracts. The corpus is divided into two sub-corpora, which are Non-native Tourism Corpus(NNTC) using Journal of Tourism & Leisure Research from 2014 to 2018 and Native Tourism Corpus(NTC) using Tourism Management from 2014 to 2018. This paper explores similarities and differences between the frequency and structural patterns of the lexical bundles of NNTC and NTC. To extract the most frequent 4-word lexical bundles from the each corpus, the index and clusters program were utilized. The results of this study showed that NNTC uses lexical bundles more repeatedly than NTC in terms of frequency. They also showed the structural patterns of lexical bundles of each corpus are remarkably different; NP-based lexical bundles and PP-based lexical bundles are more widely used than VP-based lexical bundles in both corpora but NNTC uses passive verb + PP patterns more than NTC and NTC has a very small portion of VP-based lexical bundles. These results reveal that each corpus has different proportions of the lexical bundle distribution and corpus has genre-specific features of lexical bundles.
