  Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in language planning in specific domains (e.g. business, courts, science, schools, communities, families, etc.). This paper reviews 356 articles on language planning in specific domains in four preeminent international journals and four leading Chinese journals to develop a portrayal of scholarly endeavors over the past 15 years. By a systematic analysis of domains, geographical distribution, and choice of methodology, this review identifies the global and local foci of studies published in international and Chinese journals. The findings suggest that approaches to language planning vary, as the Chinese literature tends to project a top-down model whereas international research mostly reflects a bottom-up perspective focusing on the role of individual agency. The findings highlight the integral role of language planning as one of the emerging fields in applied linguistics, and discusses future directions that Chinese research in language policy and planning could take to enable more interactions with international academia.

  近年来，领域语言规划（如商业、法律、学术、教育、社区、家庭等）日益受到语言规划研究者的关注。本研究回顾了语言规划领域中4本国际期刊和4本中国期刊上发表的356篇领域语言规划的学术成果，从研究领域、地理分布和方法选择三个方面进行了系统分析，揭示出国际期刊和国内期刊上发表的语言规划研究的关注焦点和分布特征。研究显示，国内语言规划研究多采用自上而下的研究方法，着重关注决策者和规划行为本身；而国际同行更多采取自下而上的研究方法，侧重于个体在语言规划中的能动性作用。论文认为领域语言规划作为应用语言学的新兴研究领域之一，在中国和国际上都存在着广阔的交流机会和对话空间。
