Assessing terminology and phraseology in specialised translation pedagogy using translationQ
No full textEye tracking and multidisciplinary studies on translation Benjamins translation library ;, v. 143./ edited by Callum Walker and Federico M. Federici.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Through cohesive yet wide-ranging contributions focused on the rapidly growing area of eye tracking in Translation Studies, this volume provides readers with an insightful cross-section of the state of the art in this multidisciplinary field. Showcasing the great potential and challenges of this still nascent paradigm, it offers novel, practical methods and approaches to conduct ambitious, experimental studies. Through a variety of methodologically-oriented chapters and case studies, categorised into three key areas - 'Method', 'Process' and 'Product' -, the book presents some of the most up-to-date eye-tracking methods and results in Translation Studies, including experiment design, statistical and analytical approaches, the translation process, audience and reader response, and audiovisual translation. The reproducible research protocols, re-iterative approaches and ambitious triangulations of data included in this volume seek to inspire new research using eye tracking in Translation Studies by providing the necessary methodological support and ideas for new avenues of inquiry"--Introduction / Callum Walker -- A mapping exercise: eye tracking and translation / Federico M.

Assessing terminology and phraseology in specialised translation pedagogy using translationQ
No full textTerminology and phraseology are the major hurdles in the development of one of the core components of any model describing translation competence, i.e. thematic competence (EMT Expert Group, 2009; Hurtado Albir 2017). This implies that any LSP translation course should focus on and help acquire and retrieve the specific terminology and phraseology adopted in the different subject fields. This paper proposes an approach to the analysis and revision of terminological and phraseological errors in the field of astronomy using translationQ (van Egdom, 2021; van Egdom et al., 2018), a computer-assisted revision tool which supports educators in translation revision and assessment, especially with large groups of students. The paper explains how multiple translations of the same source text can be simultaneously revised and assessed, and shows how errors can be retrieved from the revision memory for analysis and teaching purposes. The study considers the terminological and phraseological errors in a corpus of 196 Italian translations of popular science articles on astronomy made by two cohorts of MA translation trainees at the end of the first-year course in specialised translation. The paper investigates the number and types of errors made by the participants – also from a contrastive perspective – and outlines the possible reasons behind them. Finally, it offers an overview of the main applications and the benefit-cost ratio of computer-assisted revision through translationQ
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
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
