Semantic Transfer and Didactic Impact in Digital Communication in The African Context An Analysis Based on Some Fixed Lexies and Phrases, “Le continent”, “C’est de ça qu’il s’agit”...
No full textThis article aims to analyse the semantic transfer processes in communication on Facebook and TikTok in the African context, and their impact in the learning process for the learner. The aim is to show how Internet users recover and reconfigure the meaning of certain words and expressions. By remaining attentive to the digital ecosystem and lexical semantics tools, we arrive at three results. First, words and syntactic forms are the emanation of real speech and known contexts. Secondly, they undergo an entextua-lisation through which the Internet user reveals several meanings based on the rejection and moralization of the other, their acceptance and self-valorisation. Third, these discursive constructions, far from having a negative impact on academic skills, are trademarks for social and political marketingCet article se propose d’analyser les procédés de transfert sémantique dans la communication sur Facebook et TikTok en contexte africain, et leur impact dans le processus d’apprentissage chez l’apprenant. Il est question de montrer comment les internautes récupèrent et recon-figurent le sens de certains mots et expressions. En restant attentif à l’éco-système numérique et aux outils de la sémantique lexicale, l’on aboutit à trois résultats. Premièrement, les lexies et formes syntaxiques sont l’éma-nation des discours réels et des contextes connus. Deuxièmement, elles subissent une entextualisation à travers laquelle l’internaute laisse entrevoir plusieurs sens basés sur le rejet et la moralisation de l’autre, son acceptation et l’autovalorisation. Troisièmement, ces constructions discursives, loin d’im-pacter négativement sur les compétences scolaires, sont des marques-déposées pour le markéting social et politique
Polémique autour des élections présidentielles au Cameroun Analyse de la matérialité sémiotique et des désignants d’événements dans la presse quotidienne (2004-2018)
No full textSince the first pluralistic presidential election in Cameroon in 1992, there has been growingcontroversy over the stormy debates and the quest for (de)legitimation between political leadersand supporters. And to that effect, the media in general and the printing press in particular playan important role in replaying this dissensus to the public. Thus, in the narrative of the politicalspeech, and in view of the discursive characteristics displayed in the newspapers during thepresidential election of 2004, 2011 and 2018, it is obvious that this controversy is the result of adouble construction, in particular, a journalistic staging and a real confrontation between thepolitical actors when certain editorial genres are used. In this article, we plan to analyse thesemiotic materiality of texting the polemic and the methods of event designation in two dailypresses (public and private) notably Cameroon Tribune and Le Messager.Depuis les premières élections présidentielles pluralistes au Cameroun en 1992, on assiste de plusen plus à des polémiques marquées par les débats houleux et la quête de (dé)légitimation entreleaders et sympathisants politiques. Et à cet effet, les médias en général et la presse écrite enparticulier jouent une importante fonction de relai de ces dissensus auprès du public. Ainsi dansla mise en récit de la parole politique et au vu des caractéristiques discursives déployées dans lesjournaux pendant les présidentielles de 2004, 2011 et 2018, on se rend à l’évidence que laditepolémique est l’émanation d’une double construction, notamment une mise en scènejournalistique et une réelle confrontation entre les acteurs politiques lorsqu’on a recours àcertains genres rédactionnels. Dans cet article, nous envisageons analyser la matérialitésémiotique de mise en texte de la polémique et les procédés de désignation des événements dansdeux presses quotidiennes (publique et privée) notamment Cameroon Tribune et Le Messager
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
