Abstract: Research on incidental vocabulary learning has gained
increasing attention in language acquisition. With growing empirical
evidence, traditional reviews have attempted to provide incidental
vocabulary learning narrative and summary effects. However, a detailed
analysis of publication trends and their dynamics is necessary to
comprehensively understand the field's developments. Consequently, a
scientometric review was conducted using 547 journal articles
published between 2003 and 2023 from the Web of Science and Scopus
databases. The analysis explored developments through three lenses:
performance, document co-citation, and structural variation. Through
performance analysis, prominent journals, affiliate universities, and
authors who increasingly contributed to the field were identified. The
document co-citation analysis revealed several major clusters, of
which the top six were scrutinised. Findings highlighted recurrent
themes such as the importance of topic familiarity, glosses, and input
modality. Moreover, influential articles and their linkages were
evaluated through structural variation analysis, and their key
findings and citation bursts revealed frontier trends. Finally,
limitations in empirical data were discussed to elicit future research
directions. As an early attempt at a scientometric analysis of
incidental vocabulary acquisition, these findings will be highly
beneficial to language researchers, teachers, and teacher educators,
not only for identifying potential research areas but also for
adapting strategies for vocabulary instruction.
