Abstract: This article puts Hoey's lexical patterns into practice by analyzing a news discourse from The Times. The analysis involves a deep and detailed exploration of the links and bonds formed by lexical repetitions, from which marginal and central sentences have been derived. The analysis is believed to have great implications for discourse analysis and foreign language teaching. ? 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland.
