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
Gestaltist semantic compositionality in Chinese V-V compounds
No full text[[abstract]]In traditional analysis, the constructions of Chinese V-V compounds are generally categorized, according to the grammatical relation between the component V's, into three major types: coordination modifier-head and verb-complement. Though the widely accepted categorization criteria seem to be simple and straightforward, linguists could often come to completely different judgments about construction type for an ordinary V-V compound, as the case of yao-dong, which is shown in this paper. According to our analysis, such variation on the V-V construction interpretation is by no means occasional, but rather a natural consequence of some potential Gestalt effect in determining the construction type, whenever it is allowed. As a matter of fact, the construction V-V and its component V's simultaneously influence the meaning interpretation of each other, just as what the whole and the parts do in the visual perception of a Gestalt form. We adopt thus a cognitive approach based on Construction Grammar to treat the semantic composition of a V-V compound and propose thus a mechanism of Gestaltist semantic compositionality in constructing the meaning of the compound verb.[[note]]AHC
