ABSTRACT

Language planning, a crucial component of sociolinguistics, has drawn significant attention as a primary research focus for numerous scholars. The promotion of national common languages, urbanization, and globalization has led to the emergence of multilingual families, prompting many scholars to change their focus from macro-level traditional language planning to the more micro-level realm of family language planning. Current visualization analyses have relatively limited focus on family language planning in international contexts. To comprehensively understand the current state of research in family language planning and to effectively present and analyze the forefront, hotspots, and trends in this field, this paper employs bibliometric methods. Specifically, this paper uses Citespace to visualize literature related to family language planning from the Web of Science database, analyzing data across four dimensions: annual publication trends, country and institution distribution, key researchers, theme and hotspot distribution. Through a visual analysis of the current state of family language planning internationally, this paper systematically organizes research trends and hotspots, presenting the current research status, cutting-edge trends, and future prospects in theory and practice, ontology, and application, with the aim of guiding future research in this field.
