Summary/Abstract: This article presents results from partial research which in its broader scope focuses on objective language needs analysis of students in Ph.D. study programmes of photography and product/industrial design. It is the problematics of formulaic language use in vocational published articles which usually serve in classes of English for Academic Purposes as referential models for the students in the target group and form a referential corpus in the objective needs analysis in the field of academic writing in English. This comparative corpus study pointed to the use of formal and functional types of 4-gram lexical bundles in published articles of expert authors in the two visual art disciplines of photography and product/industrial design. The analysis of lexical bundles has been done with the use of Biber’s (Biber et al., 1999) formal taxonomy, the functional taxonomy was adapted from Hyland (2008a, 2008b). The findings obtained will be used to identify the objective needs in communicative competence in academic writing for Ph.D. students of the target group.
