When Books Speak of Books: G. Radvilavičiūtė’s Intertextuality
Full text linkThe present article will analyze the intertextual dimension in the work of the Lithuanian essayist G. Radvilavičiūtė, especially focusing on her most successful book, Šiąnakt aš miegosiu prie sienos. In the introduction a brief review of U. Eco’s ideas on intertextuality will be presented, paying special attention to the notions of metafiction, dialogism, double coding, and intertextual irony. Within this theoretical framework, the main intertextual strategies used in Radvilavičiūtė’s book are examined in the core of the study. Particular attention will be paid to dialogism; for this strategy a detailed classification based on the two parameters of target and modality will be proposed. Then a peculiar kind of intertextuality is presented: while the author frequently makes a conscious and obvious use of references to other texts, I will suggest that it could also be possible to find traces of unconscious “intertextual echoes”. To demonstrate this, some similarities with V. Nabokov’s novel Laughter in the Dark are discussed. Such similarities could be due to an unconscious influence of this novel on the author (in this case they would be “echoes”), or to pure coincidence. In both cases, however, this is an interesting instance of hermeneutic cooperation between the author and the reader. Far from diminishing Radvilavičiūtė’s flourishing creativity, these considerations reinforce the idea that any open text calls for the addressee’s cooperation. Hence, the reader not only decodes intertextuality, but also actively creates a net of references that sometimes go beyond the author’s (conscious) intentions.
 
Baltų kalbų skaitvardžių vartojimo dažnumas: kognityviniai, lingvistiniai ir kultūriniai faktoriai.
No full textStraipsnyje pristatomas tekstynų medžiaga paremtas lietuvių ir latvių kalbų skaitvardžių vartojimo dažnumo tyrimas. Surinkta medžiaga rodo šiuos požymius: a) didelis mažiausius skaičius įvardijančių skaitvardžių dažnumas; b) bendra dažnumo mažėjimo tendencija kiekvienos serijos (vienetų, dešimčių ir t. t.) elementų eilėje nuo pirmo iki paskutinio; c) dažnumo viršūnės dažnai atitinka svarbias struktūrines pozicijas sistemoje. Kartu su kitų kalbų duomenimis šie požymiai patvirtina, kad kalbos vartotojų universalūs kognityviniai gebėjimai ir jų ribotumas atlieka svarbų vaidmenį skaitvardžių dažnumo distribucijos struktūroje. Tuo pačiu metu kultūriniai faktoriai yra taip pat įtraukti į skaičių konceptų kognityvinės hierarchijos kūrimo procesą. Straipsnyje siūloma skirti įgimtą (kognityvinį) ir neįgimtą (lingvistinį ir kultūrinį) iškilumą. Pastarasis yra atsakingas už referencinių skaičių identifikaciją – taip suteikiama daugiau patikimumo iš dalies reliatyvistinei hipotezei, kad kalbos sistema daro įtaką kalbėtojų mentalinio žemėlapio formavimui skaičių kognityvinėje srityje. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Baltic; Lithuanian; Latvian; Corpus-based study; Numerals; Frequency; Cognitive saliencyThis work consists of a corpus-based study on the frequency of the use of numerals in Lithuanian and Latvian. The collected data display the following features: a) the high frequency of the lowest numerals; b) a generally decreasing trend from the first to the last element of each series (units, tens, etc.); c) peaks of frequency often corresponding to important structural positions in the system. In line with the data available for other languages, these features seem to confirm that the universal cognitive abilities and limitations of the speakers play a major role in structuring the frequency of the use of numerals. At the same time, cultural factors are also involved in the process of creating a cognitive hierarchy among number concepts. I suggest distinguishing between innate (cognitive) and non-innate (linguistic and cultural) saliency. The latter is responsible for the identification of reference numbers, thus giving greater credence to the partially relativistic hypothesis that the linguistic system influences the mental mapping of the speakers in the cognitive domain of numbers

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
A Brief Introduction to Multidimensional Persistent Betti Numbers
Full text linkIn this paper, we propose a brief overview about multidimensional persistent Betti numbers (PBNs) and the metric that is usually used to compare them, i.e., the multidimensional matching distance. We recall the main definitions and results, mainly focusing on the 2-dimensional case. An algorithm to approximate n-dimensional PBNs with arbitrary precision is described
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
