Représentations, valeurs sociales et traits identitaires dans l’apprentissage et l’enseignement du FLE en contexte exolingue
Full text linkThis research paper reports the semantic representations of learning and teaching as lexical entities in ffl, the discourse mobilization of social values, besides the identity features of educative actors among students and teachers/professors from two educative institutions in Colombia. This study was done from lexicographical discourse and from a corpus collected from the four groups who participated in this research, we established the description of lexical meaning for the specific words mentioned in French and Spanish. We then compared them with informants’ representations. Our interest instudying participants’ conceptions in their L1 derives from a strategy that we settled to confirm our hypothesis on the influence of speakers’ L1 over their French associations. Considering the comparative analysis, we remarked that L1 influences French representations. Also, teachers/professors’ conceptions in each population impact those ones of their students, mainly on the identity (re)construction of oneself and others. The discursive mobilization of social values among participants results rather from their experiences and from their daily actions. In this way, the features of their exolingue Colombian context play a radical role in learning/teaching ffl.Este artículo de investigación da cuenta de las representaciones semánticas de las palabras aprendizaje y enseñanza en fle, de la movilización discursiva de valores sociales, así como de los rasgos de identidad en estudiantes y profesores de dos instituciones educativas en Colombia. Como este estudio toma en cuenta el discurso lexicográfico, y un corpus obtenido a partir de los cuatro grupos que participaron en este, se construyó la descripción de la significación lexical de los términos definidos en francés y en español que, a su vez, fue comparada con el discurso de los informantes. El interés por estudiar las concepciones de los participantes en su lengua materna reposa en la estrategia utilizada para confirmar la hipótesis frente a la influencia de la L1, sobre las representaciones en francés. En consecuencia, se estableció que la lengua materna de los informantes actúa sobre sus estimaciones en lengua extranjera, e igualmente que aquellas asociadas a los profesores en cada población repercuten sobre las evaluaciones hechas por sus estudiantes, principalmente en la (re)construcción de identidad propia y de la del otro. La marca discursiva de valores sociales evocados por los participantes resulta predominantemente de sus experiencias, y de sus acciones cotidianas. Su contexto exolingüe juega un rol fundamental en el aprendizaje y la enseñanza del francés.Cette recherche rend compte des représentations sémantiques des mots apprentissage et enseignement en fle, de la mobilisation discursive de valeurs sociales, ainsi que des traits identitaires chez des étudiants et des enseignants/professeurs de deux institutions éducatives en Colombie. Comme cette étude s’est accomplie à partir du discours lexicographique et d’un corpus recueilli auprès de quatre groupes ayant participé à la recherche, nous avons construit la description de la signification lexicale des termes ciblés, en français et en espagnol, et nous l’avons comparée avec les évocations des informateurs. Notre intérêt pour étudier les conceptions des participants dans leur langue maternelle se trouve à l’origine d’une stratégie instaurée pour confirmer l’hypothèse sur l’influence de la L1, par rapport aux représentations en français. Nous avons constaté que la langue source des informateurs agit sur leurs estimations en langue étrangère, ainsi que celles des enseignants/professeurs répercutent sur les évaluations faites par leurs étudiants, surtout quant à la (re)construction identitaire de soi et d’autrui. La mobilisation discursive des valeurs sociales chez les participants résulte plutôt de leurs vécus et de leurs actions quotidiennes. Notamment, leur contexte exolingue joue un rôle fondamental dans l’apprentissage/enseignement du fle
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
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
Représentations contemporaines de la féminité et de la masculinité : de l’hétérogénéité de corpus à la (re)construction du sens linguistico‑socio‑culturel au prisme des (pré)(inter)discours genrés
No full textSitué dans la lignée de l’appréhension de représentations linguistico‑socio‑culturelles dans/par le croisement de discours genrés, cet article tente de mettre en évidence les conceptions sur la féminité et la masculinité à l’ère actuelle dans deux espaces d’Occident : en Colombie et en France. Au prisme de l’hétérogénéité de données, ce travail analyse trois corpus (lexicographique, presse, et sociologique) pour saisir notre objet d’étude, en vertu de l’argument interdiscursif. La saisie des manifestations énonciatives convoque les emprunts de trois sémantiques : sémantique discursive, sémantique des possibles argumentatifs et sémantique de corpus, qui favorisent le décryptage des positionnements sur un phénomène social comme le genre. Il est constaté que les matérialités discursives d’intérêt esquissent un répertoire varié de possibles argumentatifs reflétant, chez les populations, des constructions idéologiques au carrefour de langues et des cultures
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
