Dizionario dell'alimentazione : italiano-inglese-cinese
No full textThe Dizionario dell’alimentazione / Dictionary of Food and Nutrition is an Italian-English-Chinese dictionary on Expo 2015 themes, suitable for use as a practical aid to communication during the Milan event, but – thanks to the scientifically sound criteria adopted in its compilation – also appropriate for use
by anyone who deals with such themes in research and professional contexts. It was originally conceived within the framework of a project promoted by the Department of Studies in Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication of the University of Milan, financially and scientifically supported by the Confucius Institute of the University and by Autogrill SpA.
In consideration of the research interests of the Department, which embrace languages for specific purposes, intercultural communication, discourse nalysis, corpus linguistics and the dynamics of professional communication in various contexts, it seemed natural for us to see Expo 2015 as an
extraordinary opportunity to set up a project aimed at investigating the main theme of the event, “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” from our own disciplinary perspective. In particular, we deemed that the most suitable perspective could be terminology, as this discipline is strictly geared to the catagorization of knowledge and at the same time it has the potential to produce as an offspin materials that may be of use within the context of Expo
Le Dictionnaire des vins et des cépages d’Italie, une œuvre terminographique italo-chinoise
No full textThe bilingual dictionary of wines and grape varieties (Italian-Chinese) that was published in Italy in 2019 is the result of a research project developed by an international group of researchers from the University of Milan and the Liaoning Normal University (China) with the support of the Confucius Institute of the University of Milan.
Starting from an analysis of the norms and standards regulating the œnological sector in the European context, experts in oenology, viticulture, and Italian language have identified a list of wines and grape varieties produced in Italy and have developed standard definitions of these terms in Italian. The first phase of the research project concentrated on the popularization of scientific language. Subsequently, experts of Chinese language and culture, drawing from a rather limited base of sources on the Italian œnology sector available in China, selected or created Chinese equivalents for wines and grape varieties and translated the definitions. In the second phase the research group was confronted with tasks such as the standardization of terms, Italian-Chinese translation and cultural mediation.
This article will retrace the origins and methodology of the research project and illustrate the process of drafting the bilingual text of the Dictionary of Italian wines and grape varieties. The objective of the article is to highlight the main linguistic obstacles encountered during the development of this terminographic work and the strategies adopted to overcome them.Le Dictionnaire bilingue des vins et des cépages (italien-chinois), qui a paru en Italie en 2019, est le résultat d’un projet de recherche développé par un groupe international de chercheurs de l’Université de Milan et de L’Université Normale du Liaoning (Chine) avec le support de l’Institut Confucius de l’Université de Milan.
A partir d’une analyse des normes qui règlent le secteur œnologique dans le contexte italien et européen, des experts d’œnologie, de viticulture et de la langue italienne ont identifié les dénominations des vin produits en Italie et des noms des cépages qui y sont cultivés et ont développé les définitions standard de ces termes en Italien. L’effort principal de cette première phase a été concentré sur la vulgarisation du langage scientifique. Ensuite, des experts de la langue et de la culture Chinoise, en puisant dans une base plutôt limitée de sources sur l’œnologie italienne disponibles en Chine, ont sélectionné ou élaboré les équivalents des entrées (vins et cépages) et en ont traduit les définitions. La rédaction en chinois à confronté le groupe de recherche à des questions de standardisation des termes, de traduction italien-chinois et de médiation culturelle visant un public de lecteurs italiens et chinois, experts et profanes.
Cet article retracera les origines et la méthodologie du projet de recherche et illustrera le processus de rédaction du texte bilingue du Dictionnaire des vins et des cépages d’Italie. L’objectif de l’article est de mettre en évidence les principaux obstacles de nature linguistique rencontrés pendant l’élaboration de cette œuvre terminographique bilingue et les stratégies adoptées pour les résoudre
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
