Knowledge Graph and Frontier Evolution in Chinese Heritage Language Studies: A Bibliometric Analysis Using CiteSpace

This study takes Chinese literature collected from database such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) between 2000 and 2025 as samples. Using CiteSpace,it systematically review the evolutionary trajectory and cuttingedge trends of heritage language research among Chinese diasporas in domestic Chinese academia. A comprehensive analysis is conducted from the dimension of publication volume,academic collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence clusters,and keyword bursts.Results show that Chinese heritage language research has evolved through three stages: theoretical introduction, empirical expansion, and focused refinement. A “single-core radiation” structure centered on Jinan University and three major author clusters have emerged, forming a fourdimensional framework: theoretical foundation, family language planning, regional practice, and cultural identity. Research frontiers are shifting from conceptual definition to inheritance effectiveness and mechanisms, increasingly integrated with international Chinese language education.The field is transitioning from quantitative expansion to quality improvement and from academic exploration to strategic application. This study identifies gaps and future directions, providing empirical evidence and theoretical support for optimizing collaboration networks, promoting heritage language transmission among overseas Chinese communities, and strengthening disciplinary construction. It also offers insights for building a global Chinese language ecosystem.

本研究以2000-2025年中国知网等数据库收录的华裔继承语研究中文文献为样本，运 用CiteSpace梳理国内学界对华裔继承语研究的演进脉络与前沿趋势，分别从发文量、学 术合作网络、关键词共现、聚类以及突现等维度展开全景式探索。研究发现，华裔继承语 研究历经“理论引介-实证拓展-精细聚焦”三阶段演进，形成以暨南大学为核心的“单核 辐射”机构格局与三大核心作者研究集群，构建起“理论基础-家庭规划-区域实践-文化 认同”四位一体的核心知识框架。研究前沿正从概念界定向传承效能与机制探究深化，并 与国际中文教育宏观框架深度融合。研究证实该领域已进入从数量增长向质量提升、学术 探索向战略赋能转型的关键期，研究成果明晰了领域研究短板与发展方向，为优化学术合 作网络、推动华裔继承语传承实践、完善学科理论体系提供了实证依据与学理支撑，也为全球华语生态建设提供了学术思路。
