中国学术期刊修辞知识生产的可视化分析

A Visual Analysis of the Rhetoric Knowledge Production in Chinese Academic Journals

修辞学是人类关于语言运用问题研究历史最为悠久的知识系统,但对于修辞学的学科性质乃至其知识生产的特性,学界似乎依然缺乏自觉而清晰的共识。学术期刊是现代学术成果发布的首要平台,在知识生产中扮演着重要角色。通过对四十年来中国学术期刊参与的修辞学知识生产过程的考察,可以看出:专业性的核心期刊《当代修辞学》承担了不可或缺的任务,其他语言类CSSCI期刊也在一定程度上助力了修辞学的研究。此外,值得注意的是,大量的非语言类CSSCI期刊包括《中国社会科学》以及CAJD中中国学术期刊集群也都在一定程度上对修辞学科予以了不同程度的关注,共同助力修辞学的知识生产。由此,显现了修辞问题的重要性、修辞学科的特殊性和修辞研究跨学科对话的可能性。而这种跨学科对话性也提示我们在当前学科交叉融合的大背景下,如何既坚守修辞学科视角,又积极呼应跨学科讨论,推动修辞学科理论的建设,推进社会的发展。

In human’s research on language use,rhetoric is one of the oldest knowledge systems.However,there is still a lack of conscious and clear consensus on its disciplinary nature and the characteristics of knowledge production.We find that,during the process of production,the academic journals play an important role as the primary platform for the publication of modern academic achievements.This paper reviews the rhetoric knowledge production process participated by the Chinese academic journals for 40 years,finding that the professional key journal"Contemporary Rhetoric"undertakes an indispensable task,and the other linguistic CSSCI journals also more or less promote the research of rhetoric.In addition,it is worth noting that a large number of non-linguistic CSSCI journals such as"Social Sciences in China"and the Chinese academic journal cluster in CAJD,also pay some attention to rhetoric,which is positive to the production of rhetoric knowledge.Therefore,the importance of rhetoric issues,the particularity of rhetoric subjects,and the possibility of interdisciplinary dialogue in rhetorical research are revealed.And this interdisciplinary dialogue also reminds us how to stick to the perspective of rhetoric disciplines,actively respond to interdisciplinary discussions,promote the construction of rhetoric disciplines,and the development of society in the current context of interdisciplinary integration.
