This study examines semantic denotations of reduced adverbial clauses in applied linguistics research articles and novels. Whilst previous studies focused on the materials of sports news articles. cookbooks, and the writing of EFL learners, this study contributes to the view of applied linguistics research articles and novels. So, the use of reduced adverbial clauses between formal texts and informal text could be explored. There are four journals including Journal of English for Academic Purposes, Journal of English for Specific Purposes, PASAA Journal and LEARN Journal as indexed in the SCOPUS database since these journals are internationally well-known. Sources of novels in this study were gathered from Peter Pan (Barrie, 2022), The Secret Garden (Burnett, 2021) and The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle (Doyle, 2022) due to their best seller status during 2022 to 2023 (www.amazon.com) where everyone can read regardless ages and gender. The data collection in this study is approximately 400,000 words, containing 50 tokens to study semantic denotations of reduced adverbial clauses. The data analysis in this study follows Swan’s (2016) prescriptive grammar where semantic denotations of reduced adverbial clauses into are classified into eight categories. The results show that the reduced adverbial clauses of temporality occur with the highest frequency in both datasets. This phenomenon could be explained by levels of creativity and least effort requirement.
