Corpus-Based Pronunciation Research: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

This study uses the bibliometric method to provide an overview of corpus-based pronunciation research between 1981 and 2022 and to identify a major trend within the field. Based on the dataset of 271 publications retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis following the procedure suggested by Donthu et al. This study examines global research on corpus-based pronunciation studies, including the growth in scientific publications, the most influential authors, and countries, and the extent to which academic collaboration exists among researchers and countries. A number of significant changes as well as new trends have been identified as a result of scientific network maps and keyword analyses. Finally, future research directions and challenges are discussed.
