本文借助CiteSpace，对2006-2015年国内外核心期刊中的语用能力论文进行梳理与分析。结果显示：1）从增幅看，十年间国外的语用能力研究增长了4倍多，而我国的语用能力研究增幅不大；2）从主题看，国内外研究对语用能力发展的影响因素和言语行为能力的发展均比较关注，但国内研究对语用能力测试和语用能力教学的关注程度高于国外，国外研究对儿童语用能力发展、 语篇语用能力、 语用能力障碍等议题的关注程度则高于我国；3）从被引看，国内外语用能力研究主要参考语际语用学、普通语用学和二语习得等领域的文献，但国内对测试类文献的引用高于国外，对儿童语用能力发展和跨文化语用学的引用则低于国外。最后，本文结合数据发现对我国的语用能力研究提出了建议。

With the help of CiteSpace, this study analyzed the research articles on pragmatic competence published in CSSCI-, SSCI- and A&HCI-indexed journals during 2006-2015. Results indicate that: 1) in terms of the amount of publication, research on pragmatic competence in international journals has risen by four times, but only slight increase is found in Chinese journals; 2) in terms of topic selection, studies in China pay more attention to the testing and teaching of pragmatic competence, while those abroad are more concerned with children’s pragmatic competence development, discoursal competence, pragmatic competence impairment, etc.; and 3) the references for studies on pragmatic competence at home and abroad are mainly from interlanguage pragmatics, general pragmatics and second language acquisition. Chinese journals cite more references on pragmatic testing, while those abroad cite more works on children’s pragmatic competence development and intercultural pragmatics. The paper also provides some suggestions for future research on pragmatic competence.
