Examining the voice of interpreting in speech pathology
Full text linkThis paper investigates professional interpreting practice in the setting of speech pathology through a multifaceted analysis of the transcripts of three recorded sessions involving first-generation Italian-speaking immigrants to Australia and English-speaking healthcare professionals working in Melbourne. Applying Mishler’s notion of “voice” to the context of interpreter-mediated communication and focusing on a selection of linguistic features – ranging from turn-taking and topic development to the interpreter’s choice of footing, departures from the primary speakers’ utterances, and use of prosodic resources – the discussion identifies the voice that interpreters, as third participants in the interaction, choose to adopt between the “voice of medicine” and the “voice of the lifeworld”. The study is of a qualitative nature, although a general indication of the frequency of certain features is supplied, and interpreting conduct is described rather than prescribed. The reporting and interpretation of findings are, however, informed by and reflect issues of value revolving around the concept of “humane medical care”
Come un pedone sulla scacchiera
No full textCaratteristica distintiva della collana Prolusioni, la Sezione Echi racchiude le annotazioni di chi ha immaginato i contenuti dei singoli volumi, individuando le voci più rilevanti e suggestive, nonché ricercando e selezionando gli interventi più rappresentativi. Alle note di contesto si affiancano le riflessioni di chi ha lavorato alla traduzione, allorché, come nel presente volume e in altri che seguiranno, i discorsi originali sono in una lingua diversa dall’italiano. La Sezione si configura così, nel suo insieme, come un’ulteriore eco di voci che continuano a ispirare e a risuonare nei più disparati ambiti dell’esperienza umana, attraversando lo spazio e il tempo. Di riflesso, tali annotazioni, anziché
essere poste a preambolo di ciascun volume, fanno seguito alle prolusioni dei protagonisti, cui è lasciato lo spazio iniziale di parola. In linea con questa impostazione, laddove possibile, si è privilegiata la fonte orale rispetto a quella scritta. Il reperimento di tale documentazione ha così permesso, per alcuni autori, di usare come “testi originali” le audio- e/o video-registrazioni delle prolusioni. Nel caso del presente volume, dalle approfondite indagini condotte non sono emerse fonti orali per nessuna delle quattro prolusioni, che sono quindi state tradotte a partire dai testi scritti, pubblicati il primo nell’Harvard Alumni Bulletin e le tre Nobel lectures sul sito della Fondazione Nobel. In linea con l’approccio sotteso al progetto editoriale, tuttavia, si è cercato di mantenere e talvolta accentuare le caratteristiche linguistiche tipiche dell’oralità, pur contemperandole con le esigenze di lettura di un testo scritto, come illustrato nelle note traduttive che seguono. Le traduzioni integrali qui proposte sono, a nostra conoscenza, le prime e uniche disponibili in lingua italiana
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
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
