“…Last, another type emerging in register analysis is online register (indicated by the keyword “computer-mediated communication,” freq. = 6 in VOSviewer, and other relevant keywords, e.g., “blog” and “web”), including both the public-oriented communication registers such as blogs, web pages, and the personal-oriented communication registers such as Emails, Twitter, and Facebook (Sardinha & Pinto, 2014, p. 81).…”

“…Some previous reviews of register studies have been conducted to provide insights into the field, such as the main research methods of register studies over the past 25 years (Sardinha & Pinto, 2014) and register studies from the perspective of linguistics (Goulart et al, 2020). The previous reviews of the subject field are mostly introspective experience and lack empirical analysis based on authoritative data, and it seems that an integrated review of register studies from the bibliometric perspective is in need.…”

This paper provides a diachronic and bibliometric overview of register studies in the past decade. A total of 545 articles were selected from the field of linguistics of the database of Web of Science Core Collection for the analysis. For bibliometric analysis, CiteSpace and VOSViewer were used in order to reveal the co-citation analysis, the high-frequency keywords, keyword clusters, and the timeline of the keyword network in register studies. The results are summarized as follows. First, register studies have been gaining considerable academic attention in the examined years. Second, the major theoretical origins of register studies were text linguistics, systemic functional linguistics, and sociolinguistics. Third, corpus analysis and discourse analysis are the main research methods, followed by genre analysis, and conversation analysis. Fourth, important research themes were extracted and classified based on the following dimensions of register studies, namely, linguistic features, register types, register variations and pragmatic function. Furthermore, Teaching and education was an important dimension in register studies. Fifth, the recent research tended to focus on the register variations caused by the audiences, and corpus analysis and discourse analysis were widely used for broad analyses in different register studies. This bibliometric analysis also shows that online registers have become the research hotspot.
