基于CitNetExplorer和VOSviewer的国际回指研究综述

A Review of International Anaphora Research Based on CitNetExplorer and VOSviewer

回指是一种重要的句法现象,近年来备受国内外学者的关注。运用CitNetExplorer、VOSviewer两款知识图谱软件对Web of Science数据库核心合集收录的943篇以回指为研究主题的核心文献进行分析,探索国际回指的研究现状、研究热点和研究前沿,发现1990年以来回指发文量和被引频次整体呈增长趋势。943篇文献的聚类比约为44.71%,六大聚类分别为一语和二语中的回指、共指与计算语言学、回指与自然语言处理、回指加工、回指与手语、回指与对话。无论从出版物数量还是引文链接来看,前四类都是国际学者重点关注的领域,且这六大聚类被关键词的五个聚类囊括其中。核心文献之间共引关系紧密,高被引核心研究成果主要集中在2011至2020年。国际回指研究经历了从回指概念的界定、回指加工的探索到回指的应用三个阶段,反映出国际回指研究愈发成熟的研究现状和趋势。

Anaphora is an important syntactic phenomenon that has attracted the attention of scholars both do⁃mestically and internationally in recent years.Using two knowledge graph software,CitNetExplorer and VOS⁃viewer,943 core literature on anaphora collected from the core collection of the Web of Science database were analyzed to explore the international current research status,hotspots,and frontiers of anaphora.It was found that since 1990,the overall number of publications and citation frequency of anaphora has shown an increasing trend.The clustering ratio of 943 articles is about 44.71%,and the six major clusters are anaphora in first and second language,co-reference and computational linguistics,anaphora and natural language processing,anaphora processing,anaphora and sign language,and anaphora and dialogue.Both in terms of the number of publications and citation links,the first four categories are key areas of concern for international scholars,and these six clusters include five clusters of keywords.The co-citation relationship between core literature is close,and the highly cited core research results are mainly concentrated from 2014 to 2015.International a⁃naphora research has undergone three stages:defining the concept of anaphora,exploring anaphora process⁃ing,and applying anaphora,reflecting the increasingly mature research status and trend of international a⁃naphora research.
