Descriptive norms for 245 Italian idiomatic expressions
No full textAbstract The present study reports descriptive normative
measures for 245 Italian verbal idiomatic expressions. For
each of the idiomatic expressions the following variables are
reported: Length, Knowledge, Familiarity, Age of Acquisition,
Predictability, Syntactic flexibility, Literality and Compositionality.
Syntactic flexibility was assessed using five
syntactic operations: adverb insertion, adjective insertion, left
dislocation, passive and movement. The psycholinguistic
relevance of each dimension, their measures and the correlations
among them are provided and discussed. The databases
are freely available for down-loading from the Psychonomic
Society Web archive at www.psychonomic.org/archive/
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
Gelosia e tristezza: teorie ingenue nella cultura olandese, e loro confronto con quelle espresse nella cultura italiana
Full text linkAllo scopo di indagare di quali concetti si compongono le teorie ingenue
(concezioni) delle persone circa due tipi di esperienze emozionali, la Gelosia e la Tristezza,
sono state condotte quattro ricerche parallele con studenti universitari, italiani e olandesi, di
età media di 24 anni (N complessivo: 961). Ciascun soggetto rispondeva ad un questionario
relativo ad un unico evento, ‘lieve’ oppure ‘grave’ per le sue implicazioni: Flirt o Bacio per
la Gelosia; morte del Nonno (o di un amico/a collega), o morte di un Conoscente (o del
proprio cane) per la Tristezza. L’articolo riporta i risultati ottenuti nell’analisi delle risposte
dei soggetti a sei domande aperte inerenti quali sono le reazioni immediate del protagonista
dell’evento nella specifica situazione, e quali quelle adeguate, perché l’evento causa
un’esperienza emotiva, per quali cause/motivi vengono condivise oppure no le emozioni
provate, e quali sono i motivi per cui il/la protagonista si sente o meno in conflitto e incerto
circa le emozioni provate. I risultati mostrano che i soggetti possiedono teorie ingenue
complesse che comprendono sia concetti che definiscono la categoria superordinata
emozione, sia concetti che sono emozione-specifici. Sulla ricchezza e sugli specifici
contenuti delle teorie influiscono in modo notevole lo specifico tipo di evento giudicato, e,
in subordine, la nazionalità e sesso dei soggetti

No full textVariations 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
