Adam Makkai
Full text linkAdam Makkai nasceu em 16 de dezembro e 1935, em Budapest, Hungria, em uma família de escritores, juízes e ministros da Igreja Húngara Reformada. Ele fez os dois primeiros anos escolares em alemão antes da guerra. Após a guerra aprendeu também russo e francês. Depois de um breve período estudando Direito na universidade, ele começou a estudar francês como opção principal durante dois anos, mas seus estudos foram interrompidos pela Revolução e ele escapou para o Oeste em 1956. Chegou nos Estados Unidos em janeiro de 1957 e foi logo admitido na Universidade de Harvard, onde recebeu um B.A cum laude em russo como primeira opção e francês como segunda. De 1958-1960 Makkai passou dois anos no Havaí, onde lecionou alemão, russo, francês e latim. Em seguida ele ganhou uma bolsa para a Universidade de Yale, onde concluiu um M.A. e Ph.D. em Linguística Geral (1962, 1965), sob a orientação de Sydney M. Lamb, motivo pelo qual tornou-se um praticante de Linguística Estratificacional e um crítico ferrenho da Gramática Gerativa. A tese de doutorado foi sobre a estrutura das expressões idiomáticas em inglês (Idiom structure in English), publicada como livro em 1972 (Haia: Mouton), com o mesmo título. 
Adam Makkai
Full text linkAdam Makkai was born in Hungary (1935). He went to the United States in 1957, where he began teaching German, Russian, French, and Latin. He completed his Ph.D. in General Linguistics in 1965, with a dissertation which became the book Idiom Structure in English (The Hague: Mouton, 1972). By this time Makkai used Sydndy Lamb's theoretical model of stratificational linguistics, now known as neurocogintive linguistics. In this context, in 1974 he founded the Linguistic Association of Canada and the United States (LACUS), whose symbol is "the Great Lakes, providing a natural border between Canada and the United States", standing "for more than the convenience of acronymy. Most of his academic career was spent at the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) of which he became Professor Emeritus. He received several awards, as the Presidential Gold Medal from the President of Hungary (1999). Makkai and Alwin Fill are the authors of the first two introductions to ecolinguistics ever to be written, the former in English and the latter in German. Makkai's introduction is mentioned in the first question below. The first three ecolinguistics anthology published in Europe have one chapter written by him. These are: 1) "Die Welt als Bewusstsein und Paraphrase: zur gesamtökologischen Fundierung des menschlichen Sprachverständnisses mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Sprachphilosophie Wilhelm von Humbolts und ihrer Relevanz für die theoretische Sprachwissenschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts", published in Fill, Alwin (ed.). Sprachökologie und Ökolinguistik (Tübingen: Stauffenburg, 1994, p. 77-91); 2) (with Valerie Becker Makkai): "The case for ecolinguistics", in Kettemann, Bernhard & Penz, Hermine (eds.). ECOnstructing language, nature and society (Tübingen: Stauffenburg, p. 105-117; 3) "The role of the human voice in the eco-semantics of human interaction", in Fill, Alwin; Penz, Hermine & Trampe, Wilhelm (eds.). Colourful green ideas (Bern: Peter Lang, p. 219-236). In ECO-REBEL Makkai published two articles: 1) Porque **ecolinguística**, v. 1, n. 1, 2015, p. 22-37; 2) Da gramática pragmo-ecológica à ecolinguística (1973-1993) v. 2, n. 2, 2016, p. 37-41. More information on Makkai's professional activities are available in Louise O. Vasvári's article "Ádám Makkai: Polyglot linguist, poet and literary translator between languages", published in Hungarian Cultural Studies: e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 6 (2013): http://ahea.pitt.edu DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2013.178 (accessed in 14/05/2019). This interview take place between 2002 and 2004
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
