1、 Introduction

This article introduces the importance of language consciousness in the study of Russian psycholinguistics, elaborates on the relationship between language consciousness and national cultural characteristics, and discusses the different research perspectives of language consciousness in Russian, European, and American academic circles. Since the early 1990s, the Russian psycholinguistic community has conducted systematic research on language consciousness, forming a complete theoretical system. Domestic scholars have been paying attention to the study of Russian language consciousness since 2001, and Professor Zhao Qiuye and other scholars have systematically introduced the theoretical achievements of Russian language consciousness research. Domestic research content continues to enrich, with research methods ranging from introducing Russian methods to localized empirical research, and research objects expanding from single Russian language studies to bilingual or even trilingual studies in Chinese and Russian. The number of articles on language awareness in the domestic Russian speaking community published in Chinese core journals has reached 32, demonstrating the influence of Russian psycholinguistic thought in China. This study used CiteSpace software to conduct data mining, quantitative analysis, and graph drawing on 118 Chinese literature on language awareness research in the Russian speaking community in China over the past 20 years. The overall development trajectory, achievements, and shortcomings of the research were presented, and the development prospects were also discussed.

2、 Research Methods

This chapter introduces the method of using CiteSpace V software for bibliometric visualization analysis. CiteSpace is based on co citation analysis theory and path finding network algorithm to conduct quantitative analysis of literature in specific fields, revealing the key paths and knowledge inflection points of disciplinary field evolution. The research data was sourced from the CNKI database, and 346 results were selected through specific search queries. After deduplication and screening, 118 articles were ultimately identified as the research subjects. The literature is exported in Refworks format and saved in CiteSpace recognizable format, and visualized analysis results are obtained after importing into the software.

3、 Overall analysis of language awareness research in the domestic Russian speaking community

Visual analysis of language awareness research in the domestic Russian speaking community was conducted through CiteSpace. Firstly, by analyzing the annual publication volume of 118 articles over the past 20 years, three development stages of research in this field were revealed: slow development period (2001-2009), rapid growth period (2009-2013), and steady development period (2013-2021), and it was pointed out that the research enthusiasm is expected to continue to increase. Secondly, journal analysis shows that 32 papers were published in core journals, with "Chinese Russian Language Teaching" and "Foreign Language Journal" having the highest publication volume, indicating that these journals have a significant impact on the development of the field. Meanwhile, the number of papers in core journals accounts for only 27.12%, indicating that the quality of research needs to be improved. Finally, the analysis of the author group in the literature found that a core author group has not yet formed in the field of language awareness in the Russian speaking community in China, and the author collaboration network is relatively sparse. However, some closely connected collaboration teams have emerged, such as the teams represented by Zhao Qiuye, Liu Hong, and Yang Ming, which are the main force in research in this field. Overall, it reveals the development trend, journal distribution, and author group characteristics of language awareness research in the Russian speaking community in China, providing valuable references for further promoting research in this field.

4、 Analysis of the Trends and Hotspots in Language Awareness Research in the Domestic Russian Language Community

Visual analysis of language awareness research in the domestic Russian speaking community was conducted using CiteSpace software, revealing research trends and hotspots. Theme word analysis shows that the study covers the titles, abstracts, and keywords of literature, generating 12 theme word clusters. Among them, 5 clusters closely related to language awareness include ideas, associative experiments, Chinese Russian university students, associative fields, and Russian language teaching. Conceptual clustering explores the specific conceptual words and cultural characteristics of different ethnic groups in the analysis of language materials, becoming a trend in the interdisciplinary study of language culture and psycholinguistics. The Lenovo experiment, as an important method for studying the national cultural characteristics of language consciousness, reveals the national cultural features of Russian language consciousness among college students in China and Russia. The clustering of Chinese and Russian university students emphasizes the close relationship between translation and language awareness, as well as ways to improve Chinese students' thinking ability in Russian. The associative field clustering analysis examined the externalization and patterning of language consciousness, as well as the cultural characteristics of language consciousness among the Russian and Chinese ethnic groups. The clustering of Russian language teaching reflects the interdisciplinary nature of language awareness research, emphasizing the importance of cognitive target countries' language and culture and the cultivation of Russian language awareness.

5、 Conclusion

This chapter summarizes the visual analysis results of language awareness research in the domestic Russian speaking community, points out the fluctuating growth trend of research over the past 21 years, highlights the influence of Harbin Normal University and Dalian Foreign Studies University, as well as the academic contributions of Zhao Qiuye and Liu Hong. Chinese Russian Language Teaching "and" Foreign Language Journal "are the main publishing journals, covering core topics such as concepts and associative experiments. The research field is showing interdisciplinary development, but the core author group has not yet formed, the degree of cooperation is low, and the proportion of localized research and core journal articles needs to be improved.
