Abstract

With the increasing of international business activities, studies of business discourse have attracted more and more scholars’ attention, many papers about business discourse have been published in the past two decades, and the research topic of business discourse shows an interdisciplinary development trend. In order to figure out the research status and frontier evolution of domestic research about business discourse, 312 research papers collected in CNKI are selected as the research object in this paper. Since the research object is relatively large, a visualized analysis software CiteSpace is used in this paper to analyze these published papers by drawing knowledge maps in several aspects including authors, institutions, keyword clusters, hot words, etc. Through these maps, the research status including quantity of published papers in each year, authors and organizations of published papers, research hotspot, as well as the frontier evolution in three periods can be summarized. Finally, some suggestions are given for the future business discourse research at home according to both the research status and frontier evolution. (1) The research of business discourse should be more interdisciplinary in the future. (2) The research on Business English should be further strengthened. (3) The text types of business discourse are more abundant.
