我国手语研究的演进及趋势——基于CiteSpace的可视化分析

The Development Trend of Research on Chinese Sign Language:A Visualized Analysis Based on CiteSpace

本研究对CNKI数据库中1997年至2022年手语研究的687篇文献进行可视化分析。结果发现我国手语研究的热度呈现上升趋势;作者的学科背景分明,所在机构各有特点;中国手语的语言学分析、手语识别的计算机科学与技术分析、手语与聋人群体语言发展的特点探究、聋教育中的手语教学实践、手语对心理理论发展的影响为研究热点;手语研究形成“初步探索、平稳过渡、创新发展”的演进脉络;研究前沿聚焦基于深度学习的计算机手语识别、通用手语的规范化发展及推广、聋人群体的手语特征。未来我国手语研究应提升关注度、构建共同体、加快推进手语的信息化发展。

In the study,687 papers on sign language research from 1997 to 2022 in the CNKI database are visually analyzed.The results show that the popularity of sign language research in China is on the rise,the authors’disciplinary background is distinct and their institutions have their own characteristics.The research focuses include the linguistic analysis of Chinese sign language,the computer science and technology analysis of sign language recognition,the characteristics of sign language for the deaf,the sign language practice in deaf education,and the influence of sign language on theory of mind.The development phases of sign language research include preliminary exploration,smooth transition,and innovative development.The research frontier focuses on the computer-aided sign language recognition based on deep learning,the standardized development and promotion of general sign language,and the characteristics of sign language for the deaf.In the future,we should pay more attention to sign language research,build its research community and accelerate its informatization.
