国内外语类核心刊物中语用学研究分析:1980—2015

A Survey of Research on Pragmatics in China(1980—2015)

本文借助CiteSpace,对国内外语类核心期刊中1980—2015年的语用学研究进行了梳理分析。研究发现:1)我国语用学研究始于1980年,1997年起直线式上升,2003年达到顶点,之后一直在高位运行;2)我国语用学研究论文主要发表在《外语学刊》、《外语与外语教学》等刊物上;3)发文总量较高的研究者主要包括冉永平、陈新仁、何自然、徐盛桓教授等;4)发文单位主要集中于广东外语外贸大学、黑龙江大学、上海外国语大学等;5)从话题看,20世纪80年代我国的语用学研究以学科引介和传统话题分析为主,90年代认知语用学研究发展迅速,新世纪以来语际语用学、语料库语用学、语用学与其他语言层面界面研究发展迅猛。与国外语用学研究相比,我国的语际语用学、语料库语用学、界面研究等领域尚有较大提升空间,临床语用学这一西方新兴学科尚未引起我国学界关注。
