Citespace-based knowledge graph analysis of cognitive pragmatics research inChina(1995-2023)
As an emerging discipline,cognitive pragmatics has a broad prospect.To clarify the research status,hotspots,and fu-ture evolution trends of cognitive pragmatics research in China,this study takes the core journals published in the CNKI database during 1995-2023 as the data source.It analyses the research literature in the field of cognitive pragmatics in China with the help of Citespace software to carry out a knowledge graph analysis.The study points out that:(1)The development of the field of cognitive pragmatics in China has gained momentum,and the annual publication volume has shown an overall growth trend,but most of the Chinese scholars'researches are limited to the study of English language,and the research involving other languages is relatively scarce.(2)The hot spots of cognitive pragmatics research in China mainly focus on relevance theory,metaphor,and other fields,but the research still faces the problem of duplicated topics.(3)In recent years,cognitive pragmatics research in China has become more and more in-depth,gradually showing the trend of cross-disciplinary research,and interdisciplinary research based on the Internet will become the future trend of the development of cognitive pragmatics research in China.
