Lexical bundles play an important role in supporting fluency, coherence, and rhetorical clarity in academic writing. Their use is particularly relevant in argumentative essays, where writers must present claims, organize ideas, and maintain cohesive argumentation. Although previous research has examined lexical bundles in learner writing, limited work has compared learner-produced bundles with those found in AI-generated texts, despite the increasing use of artificial intelligence in educational settings. This study investigates the lexical bundles used in argumentative essays written by Indonesian EFL learners and compares them with bundles appearing in AI-generated texts. The objective is to identify the most frequently used bundles in each corpus, examine their structural and functional patterns, and describe the differences observed. A corpus-based comparative method was employed, drawing on two datasets: a learner corpus of university student essays and an AI-generated corpus produced by DeepAI and SuperAI. Lexical bundles were identified and categorized by structure (NP-based, VP-based, PPbased, others) and function (research-oriented, text-oriented, and participant-oriented). Frequency and distribution measures were also calculated. The findings show that the two corpora differ in their most frequent bundles, structural compositions, and functional distributions, with each corpus displaying distinct patterns of lexical bundle use in argumentative writing.
