This article adopts CiteSpace V to make a bibliometric analysis of the debate between Contextualism and Semantic Minimalism from A&HCI and SSCI database. By integrating two sources of evidence—scientific statistical data and stereoscopic intellectual structure, we attempt to detect and visualize the transient patterns and emerging trends and frontiers in this area. The results reveal that the debate was previously dominated by philosophers and then is divided between philosophers and linguists, with the former initiating a turn from objective truth to subjective truth, and the latter questioning or even renouncing the objective truth-conditional semantics in favor of a pioneering branch—truth-conditional pragmatics.
