浅析当前世界语言学研究的特点和趋势——基于2006—2015年Web of Science的文献

A Bibliometric Analysis of Linguistics Literatures from Web of Science

近年来,语言学研究日益受到学术界的广泛关注,采用文献计量学方法,对Web of Science(WOS)收录的2006—2015年以语言学(linguistics)为主题的相关文献进行了分析。分别从文献的发表时间、学科分布情况、发表的国家/地区、出版物分布的情况、作者的分布情况及文献的被引频次分布等9个方面入手,利用统计工具对采集的数据进行定量与定性分析,在此基础上得出美国和中国大陆地区的相关数据,并特别探析了中国大陆地区语言学界的研究方向及他引情况。研究结果表明:语言学研究在近年来发展较平稳,在保持传统学科持续发展的同时,出现了新的研究领域,学科交叉融合趋势明显,而从在语言学研究方面占据优势地位的国家和地区上看,语言材料和交叉学科的支撑有较为明显的作用。在总体把握近10年来世界各国于该领域研究进展和研究现状的基础上,就我国相应学科的发展提出一定的参考性思路。

Based on the theory of bibliometrics, this paper conducts quantitative and qualitative analyses of the linguistics- related theses published from 2006 to 2015 in Web of Science, looking into publishing years of articles, research subject distribution, the cotmtries and districts of articles, journal publication and authors, and the citation frequency of articles for the general assessment of the status quo of linguistic researches across the world. We also discuss the research directions and the citations of the papers in China, in comparison with those in America. The research results show that in recent years linguistics has seen a stable development, and is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary with an extension into new research fields. And language materials and other related disciplines play an important role in the development of the linguistics in countries and regions that occupy the dominant position in linguistics research. Based on the analyses, the present paper tries to provide references for the development of linguistics in China.
