The research corpora included 50 argumentative papers of English and 80 argument-papers of Turkish students. The students were from English Language Teaching and English Language and Literature departments. The findings revealed that Turkish students used less varied and more restricted number of bundles than English native students. Regarding the taxonomy of structure, native students employed slightly more NP phrase with of- phrase fragment in their writing although Turkish students tended to employ more bundles in the same category. Regarding the functional taxonomy, English native students used much more referential bundles than non-native students. More stance bundles and discourse markers were also employed by native students compared to non-native students.}, number={2}, publisher={Ömer Faruk SÖNMEZ}
