    La pratica e la grammatica : problemi, modelli, percorsi di formazione linguistica tra Duecento e Cinquecento

    No full text
    L'introduzione al numero monografico della rivista, curato da Franco Pierno e Giuseppe Polimeni, si propone di approfondire da punti di vista diversi alcuni momenti del percorso di formazione alla lingua (alle lingue), tra Duecento e Cinquecento. Il progetto sotteso alla ricerca prende spunto dal comune interesse di studio per i canali e gli strumenti della formazione linguistica, anche in rapporto alle situazioni di variabilità diastratica e diatopica

    "Dans les théories et les faits" : A novant'anni dalla 'Question de la langue en Italie' di Thérèse Labande-Jeanroy (1925)

    L'articolo ricostruisce i momenti della formazione e della ricerca di Thérèse Labande-Jeanroy, autrice di una sintesi storico-critica della "questione della lingua" in Italia. Si affrontano in particolare alcuni punti nodali delle categorie di classificazione proposte dalla studiosa, individuando il paradigma interpretativo sottostante, anche in relazione al quadro degli studi di italianistica e di storia della lingua italiana in Francia

    Premessa

    Premessa al volume, che raccoglie i contributi della sessione "Un nuovo italiano? Lingua cultura linguistica nel secondo Ottocento" (proposta nell'ambito del Convegno Internazionale American Association of Teachers of Italians, Annual Conference; Strasbourg, 30 maggio-4 giugno 2013). Quegli interventi e altri saggi, che ampliano lo spettro dell'indagine, offrono al volume punti di osservazione diversi sul rapporto tra standard e uso nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento: l'attenzione degli studiosi coinvolti si rivolge in particolare al tema della formazione linguistica, sia quella proposta dall'istituzione scolastica sia quella messa in atto nei decenni attraverso altre fonti e occasioni di partecipazione culturale e sociale

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Il contributo considera gli antichi documenti latini e volgari di San Marino, studiando le connessioni con la situazione linguistica dell’Italia medievale e in particolare con le regioni linguistiche individuate da Dante nel “De vulgari eloquentia”

    Una canzone di crociata al crocevia tra oc e oïl in due manoscritti confezionati in Italia (Bernart, di moi Fauquet qu’om tient por sage di Hugues de Berzé)

    No full text
    The article deals with internal multilingualism in Gallo-Romance lyric tradition between langue d’oc and langue d’oïl. In particular, the object of study is a Crusade song by the old French trouvère Hugues de Berzé, handed down by only two chansonniers, Da and H, both lyric collections of poems in langues d’oc. The unique linguistic form of the text, analyzed here in detail, shows heteroge- neous linguistic traits, that previous critics have traced back to an Occitan revi- sion of a text originally written in French by copyists accustomed to dealing with texts in the language of the Midi. The proposed study shows a varied framework of possible linguistic influences, going so far as to trace the rows of stratigraphy of sources and intercepting a possible Franco-Italian antecedent common to the two copies

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
