Universali e storia della linguistica
No full textIn nineteenth century linguistics the interest in common features of language, universally shared among the different historical languages, shows both in the quest for the proto-language and in the identification of the linguistic 'type' to which the different languages individually belong. The first case corresponds to historical-comparative linguistics, which, at least initially, advocated linguistic monogenesis. The second research perspective opens a most fruitful line of enquiry in the history of linguistic thought which, looking for individuation of further possible similarity relationships, elaborates the hypothesis of affinity through contact. This model is at the origin of interesting reflections developed in the 19th and 20th centuries (including both linguistic typology and areal linguistics). In this contribution examples of both research perspectives will be tackled and commented
Gli universali nella storia della linguistica: la lingua perfetta come universale nel pensiero medievale
No full textThe interpretative possibilities of the concept of perfect language can be at least the following: (a) universal grammar and principles of being; (b) perfect language as a universal language; (c) description of being, epistemological research. The article deals with those works of the early Middle Ages that consider the origin of language by looking for it, on the one hand, in what was considered the primordial language, but, on the other, in those traits that with modern terms can be considered as principles of universal grammar. It is with the reflection on the language of the medieval period that linguistic reflection assumes above all the character of scientia sermocinalis, that is of the science of discourse distinct from metaphysics: Therefore it establishes a close link with logic, coming to identify itself with this (and precisely for this link it will be ‘rediscovered’ and appreciated by many logicians of the twentieth century)
CLUB Working Papers in Linguistics Volume 1.
No full textQuesto volume, che inaugura la collana CLUB – Working papers in Linguistics, raccoglie alcuni dei contributi presentati durante il primo ciclo di incontri del CLUB (Circolo Linguistico dell'Università di Bologna). Si tratta di sei lavori di ricerca che che offrono uno spettro ampio e variegato dei temi attualmente centrali nel settore delle Scienze del Linguaggio e mettono in scena approcci e metodi di ricerca differenti. I temi affrontati in questo volume riguardano: le scritture brevi in ambiente digitale (Francesca Chiusaroli); i verbi transitivi con falso oggetto in cinese (Federica Cominetti); i pronomi italiani di terza persona nella prospettiva tesnièriana (Franck Floricic); mutamento, apprendimento e decadenza delle lingue (Romano Lazzeroni); la lingua della divulgazione scientifica (Michele Ortore); le costruzioni epistemiche in ambito dialogico (Paola Pietrandrea
L’albero e la foglia. Sulla preistoria dei classificatori
No full textI classificatori numerali si basano su due principi: la forma e la consistenza: l’albero, associato alla durezza; e la foglia, associata alla flessibilità; principi che sembrano rinviare a metafore sessuali. L’indagine sull’origine di questo universale mi ha suggerito paralleli con i segni sessuali preistorici da un lato, e con i gettoni di conto (tokens) del Vicino Oriente antico dall’altro, e ha aperto inaspettate prospettive sulle categorie linguistiche del genere e del numero
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
Informatività e scritture brevi del web
No full textIl contributo si propone di mostrare l’applicazione della tradizionale prospettiva funzionalista alle forme tipiche delle scritture brevi del web, tra storia della linguistica (Martinet) e teoria matematica dell’informazione (Shannon).
La concezione del lavoro è unitaria, frutto della collaborazione fra gli autori; solo ai fini di attribuzione formale, Francesca Chiusaroli è autrice del paragrafo 1 e Fabio Massimo Zanzotto è autore del paragrafo 2.
