Many individuals with Parkinson’s disease suffer from speech and language impairments that significantly impact their quality of life. Despite several studies on these disorders, there is a lack of relevant bibliometric analyses. This paper conducted a bibliometric analysis of 3,610 papers on speech and language impairments in Parkinson’s disease patients from January 1961 to November 2023, based on the Web of Science Core Collection database. Using Citespace software, the analysis focused on annual publication volume, cooperation among countries and institutions, author collaborations, journals, co-citation references, and keywords, aiming to explore the current research status, hotspots, and frontiers in this field. The number of annual publications related to speech and language impairment in Parkinson’s disease have been increasing over the years. The USA leads in the number of publications. Research hotspots include the mechanism underlying speech and language impairments, clinical symptoms, automated diagnosis and classification of patients with PD using linguistic makers, and rehabilitation interventions.
