Progress and Prospects in the Research on Motion Events at Home and Abroad
本文聚焦国内外运动事件,运用可视化软件CiteSpace,分别对收录于CNKI及Web of Science数据库中2001~2011和2012~2022两个时段的文献进行科学知识图谱分析,发现国外学界较早将运动事件研究与认知科学及心理学相结合,成果丰硕;国内运动事件多学科交叉研究虽起步较晚,但围绕汉语运动事件词汇化模式的系列探讨,不仅有效完善了语言类型学体系,也激发了国际学界对汉语言研究的兴趣。分析还显示,与前一时段相比,2012~2022年间,国内外运动事件研究规模显著增长,理论探讨向实证研究的转向趋势明显,认知语言学视角下的跨学科研究发展尤为突出,二语习得与加工相关成果增幅显著。可以预见,未来较长时期内,借助眼动、ERP、fMRI等技术从认知视角探究语言与思维的关系以及参与运动事件感知与理解的神经与脑机制将是该领域的研究热点。不仅如此,运动事件研究成果与其他学科融合,还会为认知障碍康复训练、自然语言处理等提供理论指导和数据支撑,进而推动跨距较大学科间的对话与合作。

Aided with the visualization software CiteSpace, the paper conducts a scientometric analysis of the academic research on motion events, respectively sourced from CNKI and Web of Science during two time periods, namely 2001—2011 and 2012—2022. The results revealed that ever since the beginning of the 21st century, the motion event research had yielded fruitful achievements abroad within the fields of cognitive science and psychology; although domestic interdisciplinary studies started relatively late, explorations into the lexicalization patterns of motion events in Chinese had not only effectively supplemented the linguistic typology system but also stimulated international interest in the Chinese language. The results also indicated that compared to the previous period, the latter period (2012—2022) saw significant growth both at home and abroad, with a noticeable shift from theoretical discussions to empirical studies. Besides, interdisciplinary investigations from the perspective of cognitive linguistics developed prominently, and studies related to second language acquisition and processing also increased remarkably during the second period. In the foreseeable future, it will remain key research hotspots to investigate the relationship between language and thinking, as well as the neural and brain mechanisms involved in the perception and understanding of motion events using eye movement, ERP, and fMRI. Moreover, research findings of motion events can be applied to other disciplines, such as cognitive impairment rehabilitation training, natural language processing, etc., thereby bridging significant methodological gap and promoting dialogue and collaboration.
