LA CANZONE (T)RAP PER L’EDUCAZIONE LINGUISTICA PLURILINGUE E INTERCULTURALE
No full textil presente numero monografico
raccoglie sei contributi di ricerca e studio intorno al tema della canzone
(t)rap italiana nell’insegnamento linguistico. Tutti i lavori qui presentati
tengono in sottotraccia un particolare tipo di testualità verbale, ovvero i
testi prodotti da nuovi italiani o italiani di seconda generazione, nel tenta-
tivo di osservarne, misurarne e valutarne la dimensione plurilingue
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
GLI EFFETTI DELLA L2 SULLA L1: UNO STUDIO SULLE RISPOSTE AL COMPLIMENTO DI ITALIANI EMIGRATI IN CINA
Get PDFIl transfer pragmatico, secondo la definizione di Kasper (1992), descrive l’influenza esercitata dalla conoscenza pragmatica collegata a lingue e culture diverse dalla L2 sulla comprensione, sulla produzione e sull’acquisizione di informazioni pragmatiche nella L2. Rispetto all’ampia documentazione su questo tipo di transfer nella realizzazione degli atti linguistici, le ricerche sul transfer pragmatico nell’altra direzione, cioè relative all’impatto della L2 sugli usi nella L1, sono relativamente scarse, malgrado la rilevanza dei dati in esse riportati. Il presente studio mira ad ampliare le indagini sul transfer inverso, analizzando le strategie di risposta al complimento utilizzate da italiani madrelingua residenti in Cina, parlanti di cinese. I dati sono stati raccolti tramite un test di completamento del discorso (DCT) scritto e analizzati con l’aiuto di test statistici. I risultati dello studio evidenziano la complessità del fenomeno del transfer pragmatico, di carattere bidirezionale e dipendente da una serie di fattori quali la competenza in L2, l’integrazione nella società d’accoglienza, la scelta del parlante (per lo più inconsapevole) di aderire agli schemi culturali della L1 o della L2, mentre nei nostri dati il tipo di lavoro esercitato non ha un peso notevole. Quest’ultimo aspetto ci permette di riflettere sugli usi linguistici degli insegnanti di italiano emigrati in Cina e sull’importanza di interventi formativi mirati ed efficaci per aiutarli a diventare più consapevoli dei propri usi linguistici.
THE EFFECTS OF L2 ON L1: A STUDY ON THE COMPLIMENT RESPONSES OF ITALIAN EMIGRANTS TO CHINA
Pragmatic transfer, as defined by Kasper (1992), describes the influence exerted by pragmatic knowledge related to languages and cultures other than the L2 on the understanding, production, and acquisition of pragmatic information in the L2. Compared to the extensive documentation on this type of transfer in the realization of speech acts, research on pragmatic transfer in the other direction, i.e., related to the impact of the L2 on uses in L1, is relatively scarce, despite the relevance of the data reported. The aim of the present study is to broaden research on reverse transfer by analyzing compliment response strategies used by native Italians, speakers of Chinese, living in China. Data were collected through a written discourse completion test (DCT) and analyzed though statistical tests. The results of the study highlight the complexity of the pragmatic transfer phenomenon, which is bidirectional in nature and depends on several factors such as L2 proficiency, integration in the host society, the speaker's (mostly unconscious) choice to adhere to L1 or L2 cultural patterns, while in our data the type of employment has no significant influence. This last aspect allows us to make some considerations about the language uses of native Italian teachers in China and the importance of targeted and effective training interventions to help them become more aware of their own language uses
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
