内容简介
In this talk, I report a bibliometric analysis of the research trends in the field of applied linguistics from 2005 to 2016. The analysis is based on data of articles from 42 Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)-indexed journals of applied linguistics, and focuses on, among other issues, the most frequently discussed topics, the most highly cited publications, and the changes that have occurred in the research trends.
The results show that while most of the frequently discussed topics have remained popular over the 12 years, some (especially sociocultural/functional/identity issues) have experienced a significant increase of interest, but some others (particularly certain phonological/grammatical/generative linguistic topics) have witnessed a substantial decrease of interest.
Furthermore, while the number of publications from traditional publication powerhouses, such as the USA, has shown a slow, albeit steady decline proportionally, those from some other countries, such as China, have exhibited a substantial steady rise. The latter countries’ increasing publication rates appear to have contributed to the increased discussion of issues specific to their context.
I also offer some suggestions on academic research in applied linguistics.
