国内外二语语用研究方法的现状与趋势

A Comparative Study of L2 Pragmatics Research Methods in Domestic and Overseas Studies

本文采用定量内容分析法,对国内外二语语用研究高被引文献中的研究方法做了对比分析,明晰了国内外研究在文献类型、数据收集、数据分析以及信效度检验等方面的共性与差异,指出了该领域研究存在过度偏重定量分析、方法论认识不够全面以及国内跨学科研究方法运用较少等不足,探索了该领域研究方法的发展动向,目的在于引发国内同仁的深入思考,拓展该领域研究的方法论视野。

Through a quantitative content analysis of the research methods in the most-cited papers in L2 Pragmatics studies published in Web of Science(SSCI & SCI journals) and CNKI(CSSCI journals),the present study finds that significant differences are detected between domestic and overseas papers in the types of studies,data collection,data analysis and reliability & validity tests;some weak points in L2 Pragmatics studies are revealed,such as the overuse of quantitative analysis,epistemological constraint in methodology and the lack of interdisciplinary awareness.This study also explores the emerging trends in L2 Pragmatics methodology.All in all,the authors aim to provoke the in-depth thinking of research methods among Chinese researchers and broaden the methodological horizons in L2 Pragmatics studies in China.
