Krasnov Roman Valerievich, Blaginin Viktor Andreevich

The purpose of this article is to establish, interpret and visualize relevant international research trends, in which the philological constructs "language" and "culture of speech" stand apart. As a task, a map of the thematic links of the concepts under study is designated on the basis of publications indexed in the scientometric Scopus database. The hypothesis that these philological objects of research are multidisciplinary and extremely relevant at the moment is fully confirmed. Within the framework of the proof of the hypothesis, the methodology of mapping science (VosViewer software), which has become widespread in the science of science in the last 5 years, has been used. The study is based on the method of constructing and analyzing mental maps (science maps). As a result, maps of requests and thematic clusters are constructed, connections and interdisciplinary interactions of the presented concepts are characterized.
