Abstract

Using CiteSpace as a scientometrics method, this paper makes a visual analysis of 500 Web of Science papers on international language and nationalism in the past 10 years (2015-2024). The number of published papers, authors and institutions are formed into a knowledge network; the key words, research hotspots and emergent words are sorted out; the future research trend is predicted, and the hottest research field--language policy is analyzed and discussed from the perspective of linguistic economics. The study found that, language policy, identity, national culture and other related studies are still hot topics. There are still some problems in the field of language and nationalism that are worthy of further exploration. For example, most of the relevant research results on language and nationalism focus on international politics and other disciplines, and there are relatively few cross-cooperation studies between different disciplines. Western scholars have done more research, but Chinese scholars have done less localization research.
