Abstract

Using a visual analytical approach to explore the evolution of second language acquisition research, this paper was based on 3,940 papers including the theme of "second language acquisition" in the SCI, SSCI, and A&HCI databases from 1964 to 2014. It uses methods of bibliography modeling analysis to draw second language acquisition's mapping knowledge domains. Mapping knowledge domains show the interdisciplinary characteristic of second language acquisition research and the central role of language education and neuroscience. It also shows the evolving process of research hotspots changing from the brain, foreign language acquisition, and fossilization to bilingualism, language level, language cognition, and so on.
