共时有声思维在国内二语研究中的应用--范畴、趋势与方法

Concurrent Think Aloud in the L2 Research in China:Scope,Tendency and Methodology

共时有声思维是一种探索人脑思维过程的数据收集方法。本文以1998年1月至2022年5月发表于中文核心期刊的研究论文为一手资料,借助CiteSpace和Excel进行关键词可视化分析和具体数据统计,探讨共时有声思维在国内二语研究中的应用范畴、趋势与方法问题。结果发现:(1)共时有声思维法广泛应用于翻译、词汇、写作等相关研究中,其发展趋势不一;(2)大部分研究报告没有提及共时有声思维法的局限性,对其应对措施也缺乏详细描述。文章根据这些发现对未来研究提出了几点建议,希望能在一定程度上推进共时有声思维法在我国二语研究中的合理应用。

Concurrent think aloud is a tool to collect data on human thinking.With research articles published from January 1998 to May 2022 in core Chinese journals as first-hand materials,and with CiteSpace and Excel for keyword visual analysis and specific statistical analysis,this paper analyzes the scopes,tendencies and methodological issues of concurrent think aloud in the L2 research in China.It is found that concurrent think aloud is adopted in various research domains,such as translation,lexicon,and writing,with different developmental tendencies and the majority of research reports fail to discuss the limitations of concurrent think aloud,and there is a lack of detailed description of the counter measures against these limitations.Based on these findings,a few suggestions on future research are proposed,in the hope to push for the rational application of concurrent think aloud in the L2 research of China.
