Visualization Analysis on the Research of International Corpus Pragmatics Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

With the development of corpus and pragmatics in the linguistic area, the two different fields begin to combine and are used as a useful tool to analyze different linguistic phenomenon. Corpus Pragmatics is a new paradigm in the field of pragmatics. In this paper, the SSCI and A&HCI databases in the core database of Web of Science are used as data sources, and the CiteSpace bibliometric software is used to visually analyze the dynamics of international corpus pragmatics research since 2002. This study analyzes the development trend and the key research domains in the Corpus Pragmatics with the visualization tool, and gives an introduction about the core contents of the highly cited literature to promote the development of the discipline in the recent 20 years using the CiteSpace visualization tool. This paper aims to provide some useful reference for the development of the domestic Corpus Pragmatics studies, thus promoting the internationalization of Chinese Corpus Pragmatics research.
