    Procédant par anecdotes et retours d’expériences, cette contribution concerne la création, le développement et l’utilisation de FLORALE, un corpus de français parlé à visée pédagogique en français langue étrangère (FLE). Elle offre un retour réflexif sur les considérations didactiques qui ont convaincu son auteur de s’engager dans ce projet d’ingénierie pédagogique pour mobiliser l’approche de l’apprentissage sur corpus dans plusieurs enseignements de FLE. Signalant que la compréhension de la langue parlée est un horizon trop souvent masqué dans l’enseignement-apprentissage institutionnel du FLE, elle entend promouvoir cette compétence cardinale quand il s’agit de vivre dans une nouvelle langue: comprendre couramment.Proceeding through anecdotes and personal accounts, this article focuses on the creation, development and pedagogical uses of FLORALE, a corpus of spoken French designed for educational purposes in French as a foreign language (FFL). It provides a reflexive account of the didactic considerations that persuaded the author to embark on this pedagogical engineering project to implement data-driven learning in various FFL courses. Noting that the listening comprehension of spoken French is too often hidden in institutional FFL teaching and learning, it seeks to promote the essential skill of listening fluency when adapting and living in a new language

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Vivre entre les langues, écrire en français

    On les dit désormais multilingues, plurilingues, translingues, exophones, migrants, alors que dans un dossier de 1940 Les Nouvelles littéraires les appelaient « Les Conrad français ». Les auteurs qui écrivent en plusieurs langues, qui s’autotraduisent ou qui choisissent un idiome différent de leur langue première gagnent en visibilité à un moment où les études littéraires prennent un tournant mondial et que se dessine le champ interdisciplinaire des multilingualism studies. Les études réunies dans ce volume mettent à profit les outils de la génétique textuelle, de la poétique ou de la sociologie littéraire pour faire le point sur les pratiques de celles et ceux qui, vivant entre les langues, écrivent en français. Se dessine ainsi une histoire littéraire vue sous l’angle du plurilinguisme. Cet ouvrage a été publié avec le soutien du laboratoire d’excellence TransferS (programme Investissements d’avenir ANR-10-IDEX-0001-02 PSL* et ANR-10-LABX-0099). https://archivescontemporaines.com/books/978281300324

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We 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
