A Visual Analysis of Ecological Discourse Analysis Based on CiteSpace

Ecological discourse analysis, as an important branch and emerging direction within linguistics as well as ecological linguistics, has received relatively limited comprehensive reviews in current research. Therefore, based on English and Chinese literature on ecological discourse analysis from the Web of Science and CNKI databases, this paper utilizes the collaboration map, clustering view (keyword analysis), mutation word analysis, and other functions of information visualization analysis software CiteSpace 6.3.R1. It systematically analyzes the current research status, hot topics, and development trends in ecological discourse analysis. The paper also summarizes future directions and trends in this field, aiming to provide theoretical and practical references for domestic scholars planning to conduct related research in the future.
