Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, domestic research on construction grammar has shown vigorous development and made many breakthroughs. The research field has been broadened, the depth of research has been strengthened, and new research paths and explanatory tools have emerged in an endless stream, injecting new vitality and perspectives into grammatical research. This paper utilizes the CNKI China Knowledge Network database as its data source, employing a synthesis of scientometrics research methodology and visual analysis software (CiteSpace) to quantitatively analyze and visually represent the extant literature. The study focuses on the salient issues that emerge within each temporal period of domestic constructed grammar research. The high-frequency keyword clustering method is employed to elucidate the intricacies of the discipline's research outcomes. The analysis, identification, and summary of these issues across various periods of time are the primary objectives of this study. By systematically sorting out and summarizing the hotspots of the current research on construction grammar, the results achieved, the challenges faced and the direction of future development, we can inject new energy into the research on construction grammar in China, and promote the further enrichment and development of the research results in this field.
