O COMPORTAMENTO DO VERBO HAVER NO TEXTO DE PERO GÂNDAVO
Get PDFNo intuito de discutir o processo de gramaticalização que ocorreu em períodos anteriores da língua, este trabalho utiliza-se dos dados obtidos no texto História da Província de Santa Cruz de autoria de Pero Magalhães de Gândavo datado do século XVI. Ao mapear as possibilidades de ocorrência dos argumentos dos verbos principais do corpus empregado, apresentamos uma descrição do comportamento do verbo haver utilizado em seu sentido existencial. Dessa maneira, objetivamos mapear o comportamento dos argumentos deste verbo e trazer discussões teóricas queabordem os aspectos do processo de gramaticalização, assim como as características estruturais dos verbos existenciais como o verbo haver e o verbo ter
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
Do Português Clássico ao Português Europeu Moderno: O mapeamento do artigo
Get PDFThroughout the centuries, the use of definite article in Portuguese has been changed, indicating a linguistic change on its grammar. This grammar changed to a pattern that obligate the employ of the article in possessive nominal phrases as we can note in Modern European Portuguese. Considering this, we propose to investigate the employ of the article since century 16 to 19 in order to show it development during the centuries. W e made a robust investigation which considers syntactic and structural factors that can determine the beginning of the process of variation and the final pattern with the requirement of definite article on the referred structure (cf. Floripi, 2008 e Castro, 2000). We will discuss the results, showing the contexts in which occurs the syntactic cha nge. W e ma de a diachronically view considering the Minimalist assumptions (Chomsky (1995) e Kayne (1994)) of Principles and Parameters Theory.No decorrer dos séculos os padrões de aplicação do artigo na língua portuguesa foram sendo modificados, demonstrando ter havido uma mudança na gramática dessa língua. Tal mudança culmina na obrigatoriedade de utilização do artigo frente a sintagmas nominais possessivos, como observado atualmente no português europeu moderno. Diante deste panorama, buscamos investigar o uso do determinante em DPs possessivos desde o século 16 ao século 19 (Português Clássico) e demonstrar sua evolução no tempo. Foi realizado um estudo abrangente que considera fatores sintáticos e estruturais capazes de indicar o início da variação na colocação de determinantes e quando esta deixou de existir, momento no qual, o uso do artigo diante de possessivo passou a ser obrigatório no português europeu (cf. Floripi, 2008 e Castro, 2000). Apresentaremos os resultados do mapeamento geral dos contextos capazes de evidenciar a mudança sintática ocorrida e os fatores estruturais responsáveis pelo desencadeamento dessa mudança na gramática da língua portuguesa. Para tanto, foi realizada uma investigação diacrônica dos dados, por meio da quantificação destes, analisando-os sob uma abordagem minimalista (Chomsky (1995) e Kayne (1994)), tendo como pressupostos teóricos o Modelo de Princípios e Parâmetros
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
Argumentos nulos dentro de DPs em portugues brasileiro
Get PDFOrientador: Jairo Morais NunesDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da LinguagemResumo: Esta dissertação analisa as características de uma categoria vazia em estruturas possessivas do Português Brasileiro, utilizando o contexto de DP com nomes relacionais, Le., nomes que selecionam outros nomes como argumentos e expressam uma relação de parentesco ou amizade. A análise dessa dissertação está baseada na teoria de Princípios e Parâmetros de Chomsky (1981, 1986) na sua versão mais atualizada, conhecida como Programa Minimalista (Chomsky 1995). Na teoria de Regência e Ligação, a aplicação do Critério Temático nos IÚveis de representação sintática impedia o movimento para posições temáticas. Porém, alguns estudos baseados no Programa Minimalista, como Nunes (1995), Hornstein (1999) e Ferreira (2001), demonstraram ser possível a realização desse movimento ao considerar que papéis temáticos são traços, capazes de licenciar movimento. Dessa maneira, a hipótese defendida por esta dissertação considera o licenciamento do movimento (Copiar e Concatenar) de um DP em estruturas possessivas para uma posição temática, como visualizado no exemplo abaixo. (i) Eva telefonou para a mãe e Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, foram utilizadas algumas restrições de movimento (d. Ferreira 2001 e Rodrigues 2001), com o intuito de verificar se tais restrições se aplicariam nas construções relevantes para a minha análise (estruturas com o DP possuidor de uma cv ligada a um nome relacional). Como resultado, observei que esta cv não apresentou comportamento de pronome, o que confirmou minha hipótese de estar lidando com um vestígio de movimento. Já em contexto de impedimento de movimento, me baseei na proposta "de Aoun, Choueiri e Hornstein (2001) sobre um fenômeno apresentado em Libanês. De acordo com os dados encontrados em contexto de ilha, procuro demonstrar que o elemento localizado no DP com nome relacional da oração subordinada apresenta características de um elemento pronominal (um tipo de pronome resumptivo), licenciado por questões de economia devido à configuração de bloqueio para movimentoAbstract: This thesis analyzes the characteristics of an empty category in possessive structures in Brazilian Portuguese, using the context of DPs with relational nouns, i.e., nouns that select other nouns as arguments and express a family or friendship relationship. The analysis in this thesis is based on the PrincipIes and Parameters theory of Chomsky (1981, 1986) in its more current version, known as the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995). In the Govemment and Binding theory, applying the Theta Criterion at the syntactic levels of representation banned movement to e-positions. However, some studies based on the Minimalist Program, such as Nunes (1995), Hornstein (1999), and Ferreira (2001), have shown that this movement is possible by considering that e-roles are features, capable of licensing movement. Thus, the hypothesis argued for in this thesis considers licensing of movêment (Copy and Merge) of a DP in possessive structures to a G-position, as shown in the example below. (i) Eva telefonou para a mãe e Eva telephoned to the mother e 'Eva called her mother.' For this study, I have used some restrictions on movement (d. Ferreira 2001 and Rodrigues 2001), with the intention of verifying if such restrictions would apply to the structures relevant for my analysis (the DP possessor of an empty category linked to a relational noun). The result was that this empty category did not show the behavior of a pronoun, which confirmed my hypothesis that it was actually a trace of movement. As for contexts that block movement, I used a proposal by Aoun, Choueiri, and Hornstein (2001) about a phenomenon in Lebanese. According to the data concerning islands, I demonstrate that the element in the DP with a relational noun of the embedded clause shows characteristics of a pronominal element (a kind of resumptive pronoun), licensed for reasons of economy because of the movement blocking configurationMestradoLinguisticaMestre em Linguístic
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
