A growing body of 21st-century research has sought to integrate methods and techniques from different fields of science in order to further our understanding of the world and the governing principles therein. A method which has been increasingly applied in addressing these cross-disciplinary questions is social network analysis (SNA), consisting in investigating social structures through the prism of graph theories.
Social networks play a vital role in the attainment of individuals. The talk will present the results of two projects applying SNA to language phenomena. One involves exploring the social spread of neologisms online; the other, the influence of peer interactions among L2learners on their language progress.
Social network analysis can provide new insights into the link between social relations, language change, and language acquisition, demonstrating for instance how social network configuration and peer interaction dynamics are stronger predictors of second language performance than individual factors, and offer a novel methodology for investigating other language phenomena.
二十一世纪的学术研究越来越注重跨学科能力。在这一潮流中，社会网络分析越来越多地应用于社会结构的研究之中。本研究呈现两个项目中社会网络分析如何用于语言现象研究。其中一个项目是关于网络新词如何从线上走向线下，另一个项目研究语言学习者之间的互动对于语言学习的影响。社会网络分析为我们在社会关系、语言变化、和语言习得的研究中提供了新视角。研究发现社会网络构成以及语言学习者之间的互动，比学习者的个人因素对二语学习效果的影响更明显。社会网络分析也可以成为研究其它语言现象的有效方法。
