It is found that the overall trend of foreign research on L2 pragmatics shows a steady growth during the period of 2013~2023;the hot topics of research include the acquisition of L2 pragmatic competence, L2 pragmatic teaching, computer technology-assisted L2 pragmatic acquisition, and the influence of learning contexts such as study abroad on the development of L2 pragmatics, and there are several articles with high co-citation frequency in foreign research on L2 pragmatics, which provide an important reference significance for subsequent research.
