摘　　要：Children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)often encounter difficulties in language learning and utilization,a concern that has gained significant academic attention,particularly given the widespread occurrence of ASD globally.Previous reviews,however,have relied on empirical observations rather than a more rigorous selection criterion.This preliminary study seeks to systematize the scientific knowledge base regarding language development in autistic children by utilizing the analysis tool Citespace 6.2.R5.We visualized and analyzed research patterns and trends regarding autism by drawing data from the Web of Science.Through document citation and emerging trend analyses,seven key research clusters and their chronological associations are identified,along with research hotspots such as language disorder diagnosis and intervention,social communication,language acquisition,and multilingual and multicultural influences.Research findings show that there exist some issues with the current research,including small sample sizes,the need for further investigation into receptive language development,and a lack of cross-cultural comparative studies.Meanwhile,the scope and depth of interdisciplinary research on language development in autistic children also need to be further enhanced.The research contributes to the extant literature by providing valuable references for autism researchers and practitioners.孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)在全球的流行率较高,受影响的儿童在语言学习和运用方面经常面临挑战,这一现象引起了学术界的极大关注。然而,以往的综述往往基于主观经验而非更为严谨的筛选标准。本研究旨在利用Citespace 6.2.R5分析工具,对孤独症儿童语言发展的科学文献进行系统梳理。我们从Web of Science数据库中提取数据,以可视化方式分析了相关研究特点与趋势。通过文献引文分析和新兴趋势分析,识别出七个关键的研究聚类及其时间序列,同时涵盖了研究热点,如语言障碍的诊断与干预、社会交往能力、语言习得以及多语言和多元文化影响等。研究结果揭示了当前研究存在的问题,包括样本量不足,ASD儿童接受性语言发展尚未受到重视以及跨文化对比研究较为欠缺。同时,对于孤独症儿童语言发展的跨学科研究的广度和深度亟需进一步拓展。本研究为孤独症领域研究人员和从业者提供了较有价值的文献参考。
