Hot Topics and Evolution of Chinese Language International Communi-cation Studies since the 21st Century——A Bibliometric and Knowledge Graph Analysis Based on CNKI Journal Papers(2000-2023)
Based on a sample of 3 883 journal papers related to Chinese international communication studies published in CNKI from 2000 to 2023,a systematic analysis was conducted on their annual distribution,journal dis-tribution,core authors,research institutions,and hot topics formed by keyword clustering by using the methods of bibliometrics,co-word analysis and knowledge graph,etc.As shown in the analysis results,the research results in the international communication of the Chinese language show an increasing trend in general,and the publication journals are widely distributed,but there are relatively few high-level journals,while despite the formation of a stable and sustained core author group,research institutions embody obvious regional features and insufficient co-operation,with their research hotspots focused on four aspects,namely,Confucius Institutes,the"three teaching-oriented"issue(teachers,teaching materials and teaching methods),the development of Chinese language interna-tional communication,and the international communication of the Chinese culture.Moreover,its evolution process can be divided into three stages.To promote the further study of Chinese language international communication,ef-forts should be made to strengthen the construction of the author team and enhance the level of collaborative innova-tion among research institutions,consolidate the interdisciplinary consciousness and shift research perspectives from the singular ones to the diverse ones,collaborate the relationship between the application research and the ba-sic research as well as that between the standardized research and the empirical research,balance research methods and paradigms coupled with a consideration of its internationalization and localization,as well as to encourage pro-spective research.
