摘要
摘要法庭作为法律语言最具戏剧性的场景,是一个丰富的语言研究领域;因此,对这一新兴领域的现状进行科学的测绘研究是必要的。通过CiteSpace V,本研究对1979年至2021年科学网络(Web of Science, WoS)核心文献集中的379篇论文及其10538篇参考文献进行了全面和最新的法庭话语研究系统综述。从逐年出版物的统计来看,法庭话语研究经历了1979-1992年的沉寂期,1993-2005年的涌现期,2006年以后进入了相当大的增长期。法庭话语研究呈现出合作网络薄弱、信息基础广泛、研究前沿多、热点动态等特点。法庭话语研究主要关注三个核心问题:法庭解释、法律、语言、权力和意识形态之间的相互作用以及法庭审判结构的调查。在法庭语篇中,语言交际问题十分突出。就法庭主体而言,法庭话语的最新研究前沿出现了以受众为导向的转向。研究热点从初创期的语言本体论转向快速发展期的法庭话语理论基础的巩固和发展。根据关键词聚类,立场研究和误解研究是法庭语篇的重要研究热点。
A science mapping of studies on courtroom discourse with CiteSpace
Abstract The courtroom, as the most dramatic setting of legal language, is a rich linguistic domain for research; therefore, a science mapping study of the state of the art of this emerging field is of necessity. By CiteSpace V, the present study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date systematic review of the research on courtroom discourse, as presented by 379 article publications and their 10,538 references in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection from 1979 to 2021. According to statistics on publications by year, it appears that courtroom discourse research has experienced a period of silence (1979–1992), followed by an emergent period (1993–2005), before entering a period of considerable growth since 2006. Weak cooperative networks, extensive information base, multiple research fronts, and dynamic hotspots of courtroom discourse research have been discovered. Courtroom discourse research focuses on three core topics: courtroom interpreting, the interaction between law, language, power, and ideology, and the investigation of courtroom trial structures. Linguistic communication issues are prominent in courtroom discourse. As far as courtroom subjects are concerned, there is an audience-oriented turn in the latest research front of courtroom discourse. The research hotspots have shifted from language ontology during the emergent period to consolidating and developing the theoretical foundations of courtroom discourse during the rapid development period. According to keyword clustering, stance studies and miscommunication research are significant research hotspots of courtroom discourse.
