Abstract

Using CNKI as the database, this paper uses CiteSpace 5.8.R3, a bibliometric tool, to make a visual analysis of journals related to the topic of identity discourse construction in Chinese language and literature, aiming to clarify the development context and observe the new development of identity discourse construction from the perspective of interactive sociolinguistics. This paper mainly analyzes the issues such as circulation over the years, topic attention, research hotspots and research frontiers. The visualization results show that the number of papers on the topic of “identity discourse construction” shows an increasing trend in general, and the growth has been particularly significant in recent years; The topic discussion mainly focused on “identity”, “discourse analysis”, “pragmatics” and so on. Future research can be further combined with new theories such as interactive sociolinguistics to make changes and increase the degree of discussion on other topics.
