A concluding synthesis
No full textThe conclusion to the volume reflects on the rich epistemologies readily visible in work on multimodality in L2 research and displayed in the original empirical research contributions to the volume. We describe how “multimodality” and “second language (L2) research” were interpreted by contributors and provide an overview of the multimodal resources and L2 contexts they examined. We synthesize the epistemological diversity shown across chapters by presenting an analysis of cross-cutting epistemological themes, identifying relationships among the contexts of study (classroom versus non-classroom), sources of data (naturalistic, elicited, or experimental), and type of analyses (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed). Finally, we highlight promising directions for future research, emphasizing in particular the need for more mixed research designs with quantitative and qualitative analyses of both groups and individuals, and more naturalistic research of L2 interactions outside of classroom settings
Introduction
No full textThe introduction sets the stage for the chapters in the volume by providing an outline of existing research on gesture in second language (L2) research, followed by discussions of the concepts of ‘gesture’ and ‘multimodality’. We then discuss the mutual relationship between epistemology and empirical setting in gesture research which is a springboard to our summaries of the chapters in the book, divided as they are into a Part One, whose chapters report on classroom research, a Part Two in which the contributions report on research based on data from non-classroom settings. We conclude by pointing out that good research is not, in the first instance, a matter of the lens through which a researcher sees the world; rather, it is a matter of systematic and coherent theoretical and methodological choices

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
