Abstract

This paper reports a bibliometric analysis of two small data sets: a set of 34 papers that make up The Routledge handbook of vocabulary studies (Webb, 2020) and a set of papers dealing with second language (L2) vocabulary research taken from a single journal Frontiers in Psychology. Bibliometric maps based on author co-citations in these two data sets are presented and compared. Although the two data sets are comparable in terms of size, they appear to be very divergent. In particular, the significant sources identified in The Handbook map seem to play a relatively minor role in the Frontiers map. The obvious conclusion is that The Handbook is not as representative of L2 vocabulary research as its title might lead us to believe. The paper argues that micro-bibliometric studies like this one can sometimes highlight features that are lost in the more traditional large-scale bibliometric approach.

词汇研究 Routledge 手册：微观文献计量学研究

本文报告了对两个小型数据集的文献计量分析：一个是《Routledge 词汇研究手册》（Webb, 2020 年）中的 34 篇论文集，另一个是从《心理学前沿》（Frontiers in Psychology）这一单一期刊中摘录的有关第二语言（L2）词汇研究的论文集。基于这两组数据中作者共同引用的文献计量图进行了展示和比较。尽管两个数据集在规模上不相上下，但它们似乎存在很大差异。特别是，《手册》图谱中确定的重要来源在《前沿》图谱中的作用似乎相对较小。显而易见的结论是，《手册》并不像它的标题可能让我们相信的那样能代表 L2 词汇研究。本文认为，像这样的微观文献计量学研究有时可以凸显出更传统的大规模文献计量学方法所忽略的特征。

期刊介绍： Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching (ISSN 2083-5205) is a refereed journal published four times a year by the Department of English Studies, Faculty of Pedagogy and Fine Arts, Adam Mickiewicz University, Kalisz, Poland. The language of publication is English. The journal is devoted to reporting previously unpublished highest quality theoretical and empirical research on learning and teaching second and foreign languages. It deals with the learning and teaching of any language, not only English, and focuses on a variety of topics ranging from the processes underlying second language acquisition, various aspects of language learning in instructed and non-instructed settings, as well as different facets of the teaching process, including syllabus choice, materials design, classroom practices and evaluation. Each issue carries about 6 papers, 6000-8000 words in length, as well as reply articles and reviews. At least one of the four issues per year is a special focus issue devoted to a particular area of second language learning and teaching, sometimes with a guest editor who is an expert on a specific topic.
