This study takes research articles published in the journal Discourse Studies between January 2010 and July 2025 as its research object. Using the scientometric analysis software CiteSpace, it systematically analyzes the overall development trajectory of Discourse Studies over the past 15 years from the perspectives of publication volume, highly cited documents, highly cited authors, research hotspots, and frontiers. The findings reveal that: (1) The United States has consistently held a dominant position in the journal Discourse Studies. Although China's influence in this field has grown significantly, it has not yet become a "central intermediary" in the global collaboration network, and its cooperative exchanges with other countries need further deepening. (2) The research hotspots in Discourse Studies over the past 15 years include: cognitive construction and action formation in social interaction; analysis of discourse production on digital platforms and social media; analysis of discourse application contexts; and the interdisciplinary integration of discourse analysis methods. This paper argues that the development of Discourse Studies in the past 15 years exhibits a deepening shift from "theoretical exploration" towards "theory-practice integration," emphasizing the combination of theoretical construction and empirical research, particularly the integration of discourse application context analysis with interdisciplinary methods. 以期刊Discourse Studies在2010年1月至2025年7月期间所刊发的文献为研究对象，利用科学计量分析软件Citespace，从发文量、高被引文献、高被引作者、研究热点和前沿等方向对近15年Discourse Studies研究的整体发展脉络进行系统分析，研究发现：(1) 美国在期刊Discourse Studies中一直占领重要地位，而中国在Discourse Studies方面的研究虽然影响力大增，但还未成为“中介”，与其他国家合作交流有待进一步深化。(2) 社会互动中的认知建构与行为形成、数字平台与社交媒体中话语产生的分析、话语应用场景分析、话语分析方法跨学科融合是Discourse Studies近15年的研究热点。本文认为，近15年Discourse Studies的发展呈现出从“理论探索”向“理论-实践融合”深化，注重理论建构与实证研究的结合，尤其是话语应用场景分析与跨学科方法融合。
