Definizione delle radici (pan)calabresi in terra argentina : uno studio pilota
Get PDFPresso le comunità dei calabresi trapiantati in Argentina si trova una discreta omogeneità culturale,
che fa leva sul forte sentimento di unione della collettività calabrese. Il fulcro dell’indagine è costituito
dalla volontà di ricercare una corrispondenza linguistica a questa omogeneità culturale.
In particolare, s’intende scandagliare quanti e quali tratti linguistici della regione di provenienza,
vista in chiave contrastiva, siano rimasti o siano cambiati presso i Calabresi attualmente residenti
in Argentina. Si tenterà altresì di vedere in che modo le altre realtà linguistiche (lingue e dialetti)
abbiano interferito con la lingua (pan)calabrese in uso presso le famiglie degli emigrati che, col
passare degli anni, hanno dato i natali ad altre generazioni di parlanti argentini di origine calabrese.
La discussione di quest’ultimo punto sarà cruciale per rilevare la misura in cui queste commistioni
linguistiche contribuiscano al mantenimento dell’identità individuale e collettiva attraverso l’avanzare

La calabrese vuole essere parlata: analisi della dominanza conversazionale nel parlato intercettato delle donne di 'ndrangheta
No full textDottorato di ricerca in Politica, cultura e sviluppo, XXX cicloThis thesis investigates the conversational dominance of a ‘ndrangheta ruling woman within a corpus of wiretappings. Wiretappings are known to be a peculiar linguistic material because of the way they are achieved: in fact, wiretapped speakers produce spontaneous speech because they are not aware of being recorded for forensic purposes. Even though they are characterized by such important feature, wiretapped conversations have not received much attention by scholars, especially by those who work within the field of Pragmatics. This thesis aims to fill this gap by focusing on forensic interceptions authorized for ‘ndrangheta trials. In particular, 21 wiretappings are analysed in order to verify the conversational dominance practised by one of the very few ‘ndrangheta ruling women with members of her ndrina (i.e. structural nuclei of ‘ndrangheta) and with her relatives. Conversational dominance constitutes a pragmatic paradigm made up of three dimensions, namely sequential, participatory and quantitative dimensions. This pattern is examined starting from distribution of the sequential and participatory controlling actions, both successful and attempted, produced by the speakers and by measuring the length of speakers’ interactional spaces for the quantitative dimension.
Both quantitative and qualitative results suggest that the ruling woman dominates the sequential dimension of the telephone callings made with her son because of the typical default interactional asymmetry between mother and son. The woman dominates also wiretapped conversations made with her affiliates because of the topics developed. As far as concerns the participatory dimension, ‘ndrangheta ruling woman produces more successful controlling participatory actions only in those dyads where she interacts with affiliated women because they are socially dominated by the ruling member of the ‘ndrina. Further, the quantitative dimension doesn’t show any relevant result because the parameter focuses more on conversational turn rather than on pragmatic moves included.
The results in this thesis will contribute towards increasing the number of studies conducted upon conversational dominance within spontaneous speech intercepted for criminal trials
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
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
