- Abstract
Sociolinguistics is the study of the interaction between language and society. In order to explore the status quo of the international sociolinguistics study, we collected 459 articles with 19414 references from Web of Science (WoS), retrieved on March 15, 2017. With the help of CiteSpace, knowledge maps of author co-citation, keywords clusters and document co-citation were created. Top 30 most cited authors, 8 keywords clusters and top 10 most co-cited documents are analyzed. The analysis of related research documents reveals the overall research trend in sociolinguistics study in recent years.
