引用是作者表明其与学科界的联系以及其工作在其中的地位的关键手段。关于引用哪些作品的选择是学术文本人际维度的一个重要方面,引用行为使学术关系网络变得可见。除其他外,引文选择表明作者对其领域先前工作的评价,有助于将作者构建为其学科社区的成员,并提供推广他或她自己的工作或同事的工作的机会。该论文利用了已发表的心理学文章的 150 万字语料库,并使用定量和定性分析来探索在非英语环境中工作但以英语发表研究的学者的引用实践。本文的目的是强调地理语言学维度对引文实践的重要性,而引文实践通常以学术学科社区建设的研究为背景。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Citation is a key means by which authors signal their affiliation to their disciplinary community and the place of their work within it. Choices made regarding what work to cite is a crucial aspect of the interpersonal dimension of academic texts, with the act of citing making visible a network of scholarly relations. Citation choices indicate, among other things, an author's estimation of previous work in their field, help to construct the author as a member of his or her disciplinary community, and provide an opportunity to promote his or her own work, or the work of colleagues. The paper draws on a 1.5 million word corpus of published psychology articles and uses quantitative and qualitative analysis to explore in particular the citation practices of scholars working in non-Anglophone contexts, but publishing their research in English. The aim of this paper is to foreground the significance of the geolinguistic dimension to citation practices which is often backgrounded in studies of scholarly disciplinary community building.
