Abstrakt
The paper explores English L2 academic texts written by Czech university students in comparison with English L1 novice and expert writing, trying to find out to what extent the phraseological differences between them are due to what may be termed the 'academic' challenge, i.e. the lack of experience on the part of novice academic writers, and to the 'linguistic' challenge, i.e. not being native English writers. The study combines contrastive analysis and learner corpus research to explore recurrent multi-word patterns comprising the word-form it, such as it is obvious, even though it, when it comes to.
