“Vet du ka som er en kombinasjon?”: Dei tidlege språkvala til tre barn i fleirdialektale miljø
No full textThe research question addressed in this article is how the mothers’ dialect, the dialects of the rest of the family and in the local area, and perceptions of standard dialect influence children’s early linguistic choices. The article explores the speech patterns of three children over time and discusses the reasons behind the linguistic choices they make. Additionally, it investigates the prosodic dialect features in the children’s speech and the development of these patterns. The first participants in this project are the two girls named Sol and Snø, whose everyday interactions were recorded from ages 2;2 to 4;6. The third participant is Måne, Sol’s younger brother, whose speech was recorded from ages 1;9 to 2;9. Furthermore, the mothers of these children have contributed with observational data. As the mother of Sol and Måne, I had the opportunity to continuously collect data, while Snø’s data was gathered at three separate points with approximately a year between them. Based on this dataset, we can observe that all the children have features from their mothers’ dialect, but it varies to what degree and for how long the features are maintained. Factors as input from grandparents and older siblings, and periods of absence from kindergarten seem to influence the children’s speech. Additionally, moving to the father’s local area plays a crucial role in Snø’s language development. It is also evident that all three informants, regardless of the dialects by which they are surrounded, at different points in time orient themselves toward a form of standard dialect, perhaps experienced though roleplay and from reading aloud. In conclusion, this article explores the linguistic choices made by these children and discusses how the choices might reflect the status of the different agents of language socialization.Forskingsspørsmålet denne artikkelen tek opp, er korleis morsdialekta, dialektene i familien og i nærområdet og ei oppfatning av standardtalemål kan påverke barn sine tidlege språkval. Artikkelen utforskar talemåla til tre barn over tid og diskuterer årsakene til språkvala dei gjer. I tillegg blir dei prosodiske draga og utviklinga av desse i talemåla til barna undersøkte. Dei to første informantane er jentene Sol og Snø, som det har blitt tatt opptak av i kvardagslege situasjonar då dei var 2;2–4;6 år. Den tredje informanten er Måne, veslebroren til Sol, som det har blitt tatt opptak av då han var 1;9–2;9 år. I tillegg har mødrene til barna bidratt med observasjonsdata. Som mor til Sol og Måne har eg hatt moglegheita til å samle inn data kontinuerleg, medan datamaterialet av Snø har blitt innhenta på tre tidspunkt med om lag eit års mellomrom. Ein kan høyre at alle tre barna har trekk frå morsdialekta, men det varierer i kor stor grad og kor lenge trekka blir bevarte. Faktorar som innputt frå besteforeldre og eldre sysken og periodar med fråvær frå barnehage, verkar å gje utslag på barna sine talemål. I tillegg er flytting til fars heimstad avgjerande for språkutviklinga til Snø. Vi kan også sjå at alle tre informantane, uavhengig av dialektene dei høyrer rundt seg, på ulike tidspunkt orienterer seg mot ei form for standardtalemål, kanskje formidla gjennom leik og lesing. Denne artikkelen kartlegg altså språkvala til desse barna og diskuterer korleis dei kan vere eit uttrykk for styrkeforholda mellom dei ulike agentane for språksosialisering

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
Variations 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
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
