As critical discourse analysis/studies move into the second decade of the 21st century, there is a need to reflect on their evolution and envision their future development. In this paper, CiteSpace and VOSviewer are employed to gain holistic insights into CDA/CDS research and capture the recent research foci. The Web of Science core collection database is a prominent resource for collecting data. It was found that (1) CDA has broadly absorbed the theories of other disciplines and increasingly developed into a super-discipline; (2) corpus building, the advent of computer technology, and the development of linguistic analysis software have provided effective analytical tools for critical discourse research, making it possible for overall and partial analyses to complement each other and for complementary qualitative and quantitative approaches to be used to enhance the thoroughness and precision of research; and (3) the research methods for conducting CDA tend to be diverse and comprehensive.

随着批判性话语分析/研究进入 21 世纪的第二个十年，需要反思其演变并展望其未来发展。在本文中，CiteSpace 和 VOSviewer 被用来获得对 CDA/CDS 研究的整体洞察并捕捉最近的研究焦点。Web of Science 核心馆藏数据库是收集数据的重要资源。发现（1）CDA广泛吸收了其他学科的理论，逐渐发展成为一门超级学科；(2)语料库建设、计算机技术的出现、语言分析软件的发展，为批判性话语研究提供了有效的分析工具，使整体分析和局部分析相辅相成，并使用互补的定性和定量方法来提高研究的彻底性和准确性；（3）开展CDA的研究方法趋于多元化和综合性。
