Journal self-citations - analysing the JIF mechanism
No full textInternational audienceThis paper investigates the mechanism of the Journal Impact Factor (JIF). Although created as a journal selection tool the indicator is probably the central quantitative indicator for measuring journal quality. The focus is journal self-citations as the treatment of these in analyses and evaluations is highly disputed. The role of self-citations (both self-citing rate and self-cited rate) is investigated on a larger scale in this analysis in order to achieve statistical reliable material that can further qualify that discussion. Some of the hypotheses concerning journal self-citations are supported by the results and some are not
: Populaţie şi habitat pe domeniul cetăţii Şiria la începutul secolului al XVI –lea
No full textThe study „Population and habitat on the feudal domain Şiria at the beginning of the XVIth century” is based on a statistical document developed in 1525. We have many and very important information on the people's one of the largest feudal domain in Transylvania in the middle Ages. The 8152 inhabitants, where nearly 90% for them is represented by serfs, live in 121 villages scattered over an area large enough in the old county of Zarand. The predominantly landform is mountain. The majority of the 121 villages, 76% more accurate, have up to 80`s inhabitants, so they are relative small villages. Yet some localities are also somewhat larger – market towns - which have between 184 and 460 inhabitants. Finally, we can see that the old type of habitat is preserved up to the present day with few changes and 70 villages from them exist in our days on the territory of the counties Arad and Hunedoara

: Rapport om det humanistiske kommunikationsmønster og internationale forskningskvalitetsmodeller
No full textRapporten har intet ISBN-nummerDenne rapport handler om forskningskvalitet inden for humaniora. Det er en baggrundsrapport, som søger at belyse det humanistiske kommunikationsmønster inden for forskning, samt de udenlandske modeller for forskningskvalitetsvurdering i Danmarks nærområde (den norske model, den engelske RAE samt European Reference Index for Humanities, ERIH). Rapporten viser, at det humanistiske kommunikationsmønster der kendetegner Det Humanistiske Fakultet ved Københavns Universitet ikke adskiller sig væsentligt fra humanistiske kommunikationsmønstre i verden som helhed. KU's humanistiske kommunikationsmønster er karakteriseret af, at der publiceres mange forskellige publikationstyper (bidrag til bog/samleværk 44%, tidsskriftsartikler 38% og monografier 6%), at der langt overvejende publiceres på dansk ( 54%), samt at kun 10% af KU's humanistiske forskning er underlagt peer review. Rapporten viser desuden, at citationsanalyse har en lang række problemer (dårlig dækningsgrad for humaniora, US-bias, ingen indeksering af bøger, statistiske problemer med registreringen af forfatternavne og andre bibliografiske data). Det samme gælder Journal Impact Factor-analyser, hvilket gør dem vanskelige eller meningsløse at benytte inden for humaniora. På baggrund af citationsanalyser af tre anerkendte humanistiske forskere viser rapporten, at de scorer utroligt lavt på alle væsentlige punkter i en citationsrapport. Citationsanalyserne kan på ingen måde sige noget meningsfyldt om de pågældende forskeres publikationsaktivitet.No english abstract, cf. danish version
Cooperation, Competition, Conflict and Communication
No full textGothenburg papers in theoretical linguistics, ISSN 0349-1021Building on sources such as the ones mentioned our point of departure, in this book, is the definition of cooperation given in Allwood (1976). Cooperation is there claimed to be a matter of degree, definable in terms of four requirements that would be needed to achieve ideal cooperation. Thus, two or more parties interact cooperatively to the extent that they in their actions (i) take each other into cognitive consideration (ii) have a joint purpose (iii) take each other into ethical consideration (iv) trust each other to act in accordance with (i) – (iii). All four requirements need not be met, but as soon as one is met, there is some degree of cooperation and two persons may be said to cooperate to some extent

Russisk funktionalstilistik og fagsprog
No full textoai:HAL:hprints-00957152v1Dette kompendium giver en indføring til den særlige russiske forskningstradition inden for teksttypologi, funktionalstilistikken, og sammenligner den med den vestlige fagsprogsforskning. Mens funktionalstilistikken traditionelt skelner mellem fem teksttyper eller stile (den videnskabelig-tekniske, den officiel-saglige, den publicistiske, den skønlitterære og den kollokviale), tager vestlig fagsprogsforskning udgangspunkt i en simpel todeling mellem almindeligt sprog og fagsprog. Ud over en grundig diskussion af grundbegreber og uafklarede spørgsmål inden for funktionalstilistikken rummer kompendiet en række eksempler med kommentarer. Kompendiet kan anvendes som baggrundslitteratur i forbindelse med avancerede studier i teksttypologi og stilistik på universitetsniveau.This contribution offers an introduction to functional stylistics, the special Russian tradition within text type research, and compares it to European traditions. While Russian functional linguistics traditionally distinguishes five basic text types or styles (for scientific-technical texts, official documents, the press, fiction and colloquial conversation), Western research tends to focus on the simple bipartition of language for specific (or special) purposes (LSP) and language for language for general purposes (LGP). The contribution discusses a number of examples of relevance to Russian language studies at an advanced university level
From attitudes to commonplaces: A discursive approach to attitude interviews
No full textWith a background in sociolinguistics, this paper presents the theoretical, methodological and epistemological issues the author was forced to negotiate in conducting the apparently simple task of investigating a few dozen people's attitudes towards the English influence on their own language. The paper discusses the fundamental epistemological shortcomings of different approaches to attitude research. Three different orders of analysis are attempted and reflected upon, a standardized quantitative analysis, a discourse analysis and a deconstructive, nonessentialist analysis. It is the author's firm believe that this critical examination of methods is on the one hand essential for academic approaches to attitude research, and on the other essential in informing the public - you and me - about the mechanisms of opinion polls which underlies so much modern political work. In this respect, the papers "failure" to set up a new and improved approach to attitude research, and its content to point out the shortcomings of the current approaches, may not be a failure as much as a conscious plea to do away with the notion of a objective or neutral investigation of opinions
Ett kognitivt grepp på motsatsord
No full textInternational audienceSee the Swedish abstractMotsatsord utövar en särskild lockelse på människan. Enligt folkliga förställningar går motsatser ”ihop”, så att endast en tunn gräns skiljer geniet från galningen. Små barn har tidigt en känsla för vad motsatser är. Motsatsord innefattar både närhet och avstånd. Avståndet gäller en semantisk dimension, medan närheten gäller syntaktisk distribution och kontextuella faktorer (Cruse 1986:197, Pohl 1970:188). Föreliggande arbete har som mål att undersöka motsatsord vad gäller symmetri, likhet och skillnad, och föreslå hur detta kan göras i ett kognitivt semantiskt perspektiv. Orden levande och död studeras. I artikeln används termen ”motsatsord” om ord som står emot varandra i en etablerad motsatsrelation, som levande–död, och ”antonymer” om graderbara motsatsord, som lång–kort
Activity Based Studies of Linguistic Interaction
No full textGothenburg papers in theoretical linguistics, ISSN 0349-1021This paper will describe an approach to studies of language and communication that has become known as “Activity based Communication Analysis” (ACA). I will also briefly contrast the approach to some other approaches to linguistic interaction. The paper contains the following sections: 1. Conception of language and linguistic interaction - the task of linguistics 2. On methodology and goals 3. Analytical categories to be used in the study of linguistic interaction 4. On the relation to some other approaches 5. Examples of some studies There are many sources of inspiration for the approach, such as Malinowski (1923), Wittgenstein (1953), Vygotsky (1978), Sacks (1992), Bühler (1934 ), Rommetveit (1974), Grice (1975), Austin (1962) and Firth (1957).
