国内语言学研究热点及走向——基于语料库的分析

The linguistics research foci and trends in China from 2001 to 2011:A corpus-based review

本文运用语料库方法,从研究内容、论文类型、研究语种和语料媒介4个方面分析了《外语教学与研究》、《外国语》、《当代语言学》和《现代外语》4家期刊中语言研究类论文摘要的主题词,以期透视2001-2011年国内语言学研究的热点领域及其走向。对各领域主题词的统计分析发现:1)国内语言学界在继续保持对句法学、词汇学和语义学研究兴趣的基础上,加强了认知语言学的研究;2)相较于句法学等语言学分支,音系学研究仍显不足;3)对汉语的研究兴趣高于英语及其他语言;四、研究语料主要以书面语为主,口语语料或多模态语料偏少。

This paper investigates the linguistics research foci and trends in China from 2001 to 2011 by analyzing the terms extracted from the abstracts of linguistic papers published in Foreign Language Teaching and Research,Foreign Languages,Contemporary Linguistics,and Modern Foreign Languages.The analysis in terms of research content,types of research papers,languages studied and types of data demonstrates that:1)cognitive linguistics has turned out to be the fourth hottest research field following that of syntax,lexicology and semantics,which have been of constant research interest to the linguistic circle in China;2)compared with the study of syntax and other branches of linguistics,that of phonology has not attracted much attention from researchers;3)there are more studies of Chinese than those of English or any other foreign languages;4)with regard to the type of data studied,written language,rather than spoken language or any other semiotic resources,has remained the dominant data source for domestic linguistic research.
