'n makrostrukturele beskouing
No full textAfrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings. A Macrostructural Study. A restricted
synchronic dictionary such as Afrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings has an important role to play
in modem Iexirography where user-friendly reference sources facilitate communication. A
considerable number of theoretical guidelines exist for the choice of lexicon items to be included in
a dictionary, and this review article attempts to provide some pointers. The research also includes
sociolinguistic implications which result from the compilation of the macrostructure of a particular
dictionary. The focal points are firstly taboos to which lexicographers of Afrikaans dictionaries are
subjected, and secondly establishing which expressions fall within the limits of idiomatic language
usage. The treatment of idiom-like collocations particularly appears to be problematic. Another
issue which will be considered briefly, ls the morphological presentation of lemmas
Visual literature: an essential part of academic learning
Get PDFBecause the world is becoming a planet where speed plays a much bigger role than only one generation ago, information is gained at almost the speed of light. Although is not seen as strange phenomenon anymore, the fact remains that technology has developed so drastically that it is almost unthinkable that a person of sixty years old today started her live without television, computer, internet, and perhaps, also without a telephone. In the process literature and language are disciplines that are drastically influenced, apart from the fact that 93% of all language is non-verbal. Images are becoming a most important part of communication and influence us cognitively and emotionally. Images also accelerate and increase our level of comprehension. Therefore visual literature is becoming an integral part of learning. In this article, the Afrikaans comic Asterix die Galliër is investigated, and it is argued that a comic can serve as a subgenre in the main stream of literature. Visual and verbal language are compared and common entities in the syntax, morphology and lexicon are identifi ed. It is concluded that the combined process of reading text and seeing images is essential for learning and rational thinking. Visual literature should therefore not be neglected as a source of academic training

Afrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings: In makrostrukturele beskouing
Get PDFn Beperkte sinchroniese woordeboek soos die Afrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings het 'n belangrike rol te vervul in die moderne leksikografie waar gebruikersvriendelike naslaanbronne kommunikasie vergemaklik. Heelwat teoretiese riglyne bestaan vir die keuse van taalvorme wat in die woordeboek ingesluit moet word, en hierdie resensieartikel probeer om 'n paar rigtingwysers te verskaf. Die ondersoek betrek ook sosiolinguistiese implikasies wat volg uit die sames telling van die makrostruktuur van 'n betrokke woordeboek. Die fokuspunte is eerstens die taboes waaraan leksikograwe van Afrikaanse woordeboeke onderwerp word, en tweed ens die bepaling van watter uitdrukkings binne die grens van idiomatiese taalgebruik val. Veral die hantering van idioomagtige kollokasies blyk problema ties te wees. 'n Ander kwessie wat kortliks aandag sal geniet, is die morfologiese aanbieding van trefwoorde.Sleutelwoorde: spreekwoorde, vaste uitdrukkings, idiome, kollokasies, trefwoorde, teikengebrulkers, bevolkingsgroepe, ander sosiale groepe, rassistiese taal, kwetsende taal, nuutskeppings, leksikografiese etikette, morfologiese aanbiedingAfrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings: A Macrostructural Study.

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
