近20年海外中文研究热点可视化分析

The Visual Analysis of Overseas Chinese Research Hot Topics in the Past 20 Years

基于Web of Science、Science Direct和EBSCO三大外文数据库,运用Endnote和VOS viewer对自2002年以来近20年间有关海外中文研究的1,272篇文献进行整理和可视化分析,通过知识图谱的方式展示其变化特点。研究发现:对于中文研究这一主题,海外英文文献的发文量整体保持稳步上升的态势,2007—2009年和2015—2017年这两个时间段发文量剧增;核心期刊有来自世界著名的《系统》(System)、《语用学杂志》(Journal of Pragmatics)、《神经语言学杂志》(Journal of Neurolinguistics)等;核心作者主体为国外知名大学学者,但核心作者合作群体少且合作强度弱;研究热点聚焦于中文作为第二语言教学、双语(多语)环境下中文普通话的规划与应用、学生中文学习情况的调查与分析等主题研究。

Based on the three major foreign language databases of Web of Science,Science Direct and EBSCO,this paper uses Endnote and VOS viewer to collate and visualize 1,272 articles on overseas Chinese research in the past two decades from 2002 to 2022,and to show their changing characteristics by means of knowledge mapping.It is found that for the topic of Chinese language research,the overall number of articles published in overseas English literature has maintained a steady increase,with a sharp increase in the number of articles published between 2007-2009 and 2015-2017.The core journals mainly include the world-renowned System,Journal of Pragmatics,Journal of Neurolinguistics and etc.The core authors are basically scholars from renowned foreign universities;but the core authors have a small number and weak collaboration.Research hot topics focus on the teaching Chinese as a second language,the planning and application of Mandarin Chinese in a bilingual(multilingual)environment,and the investigation and analysis of students'learning of Chinese.
