Abstract

While writing involves interactions between writers and readers as each considers the other in creating and interpreting texts, research interest in written interaction is a fairly recent development. This paper uses a bibliometric analysis to trace the growing interest in written interaction over the past 30 years from its origins in philosophy, conversation analysis and sociocultural language pedagogy. To do so, we analyzed all 918 articles mentioning writing and interaction in the social science citation index since 1990, dividing the corpus into two periods following the massive increase in interest after 2005. We identify which topics have been most prevalent and which authors, publications, journals and countries most influential over time. The results indicate the growing importance of identity, genre, discipline, metadiscourse and stance, particularly drawing on corpus methods. We also note the participation of authors from more countries in publishing interaction research with the growth of authors from China becoming particularly visible. These findings may interest those working in written discourse analysis and scholarly publishing.

书面文本中的互动:已发表研究成果的文献计量学研究
虽然写作涉及作者和读者之间的互动,因为在创作和解释文本时,双方都会考虑到对方,但对书面互动的研究兴趣却是最近才发展起来的。本文通过文献计量学分析,追溯了过去 30 年来人们对书面互动日益增长的兴趣,而这种兴趣的起源则是哲学、会话分析和社会文化语言教育学。为此,我们分析了自 1990 年以来社会科学引文索引中提及写作与互动的所有 918 篇文章,并将语料库划分为两个时期,即 2005 年之后兴趣大增的时期。我们确定了哪些主题最为普遍,哪些作者、出版物、期刊和国家在不同时期最具影响力。结果表明,身份、体裁、学科、元话语和立场的重要性与日俱增,特别是利用语料库方法。我们还注意到更多国家的作者参与了互动研究的出版,其中中国作者的增长尤为明显。这些发现可能会引起从事书面语篇分析和学术出版工作的人员的兴趣。

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 The journal is devoted to reporting previously unpublished highest quality theoretical and empirical research on learning and teaching second and foreign languages.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.
