Abstract:

In recent years, due to the rise of cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, particularly corpus linguistics and phraseology, has led to formulaic language in second language (hereafter referred to as L2 formulaic language) becoming an important field in second language research. For this paper, we retrieved academic papers that mainly focused on L2 formulaic language from the Web of Science (WoS) database, and employed CiteSpace’s literature information visualization technology. The quantitative analysis aimed to objectively and comprehensively trace and analyze the development process, trending topics, and leading subjects in research on L2 formulaic language from 1999 to 2023. The research findings indicated that L2 formulaic language research exhibited an increasing trend of continuous growth. The core research areas encompass the four disciplinary fields of corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, pragmatics, and applied linguistics. These fields involve various research topics related to L2 formulaic language, including its structure and distribution, representation and processing, usage and functions, and the acquisition and teaching of L2 formulaic language. Based on a bibliometric analysis, this paper aims to clarify the development trends in the field of research on L2 formulaic language over the past 25 years within the academic community. It provides a visual and comprehensive literature guide for future, in-depth research on L2 formulaic language.

摘要:

近年来,随着认知语言学、构式语法,特别是语料库语言学和短语学的兴起,程式语已经成为第二语言研究的重要领域。本文在Web of Science(WoS)数据库中检索以二语程式语为主题的学术论文,运用CiteSpace的文献信息可视化技术,通过定量分析的手段,力求全面、客观地追踪和分析1999—2023年间国外二语程式语研究的发展历程、热点领域和前沿主题。研究结果表明,国外二语程式语的研究整体呈持续性增长的积极态势,核心研究领域涵盖语料库语言学、心理语言学、语用学及应用语言学4个学科领域,分别涉及程式语的结构与分布、表征与加工、使用与功能以及二语程式语的习得与教学等不同的研究主题。本文基于文献计量分析,厘清了国外学术界近25年间二语程式语研究领域的发展脉络,为今后进一步深入研究二语程式语提供了直观、全面的文献指引。
