An Overview of Research on Discursive Legitimation ()
ABSTRACT
Discourse plays an important role in the construction of legitimation.
Numerous studies of discursive legitimation have been completed. However, few studies
have reviewed relevant literature with a visual pattern, and a review that
analyzes its trends is urgent. The study presents an analytical literature
review of the research on discursive legitimation, aiming to provide an
overview of and insights into a selected bibliography of 91 research articles
on discursive legitimation. A bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace is applied
to quantitatively and visually analyze relevant studies, followed by a close
qualitative analysis to capture different classifications of legitimation
strategies, main research methods, and hot topics.
