    Deutsch-italienische Lexikographie vor 1900: Die Arbeiten des Sprach- und Kulturmittlers Francesco Valentini (1789-1862)

    No full text
    Die Arbeit stellt die zweisprachige deutsch-italienische Lexikographie in ihrem historischen Werden bis ins 19. Jahrhundert dar. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf einer detaillierten Analyse des lexikographischen, aber auch sprachdidaktischen Werkes des in Berlin tätigen Römers Francesco Valentini. An seinem Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts der Grundstein für eine moderne Äquivalenzlexikographie gelegt wird und welchen Beitrag die Betrachtung der Autoren von Gebrauchswörterbüchern zur Ergänzung der italienischen Sprachgeschichte leisten kann. This study presents the history of bilingual German-Italian lexicography prior to 1900. It provides a detailed analysis of the lexicographical and language didactic works of Francesco Valentini, a Roman scholar working in Berlin. Through his example, it shows how a foundation was created for a modern lexicography of equivalence in the first half of the 19th century

    Il romano Francesco Valentini (1789-1862). Maestro di lingua e lessicografo a Berlino

    The paper deals with Francesco Valentini (1789-1862), a linguistic and cultural mediator originally from Rome and active in early 19th century’s Berlin. After retracing his biography, it presents his activities as a language teacher, from which several didactic publications emerged, his contribution to the Italian Questione della Lingua as an external observer and his reflections on the emerging history of the Italian and German language. The most important part of his oeuvre lies in the field of lexicography: the Gran Dizionario grammatico-pratico italiano-tedesco, tedesco-italiano (1831-1836, 4 vols.) can be considered a precursor of modern German-Italian dictionaries

    Pier Francesco Valentini and Musical Canons in the Visual Culture of Early Modern Rome

    No full text
    Pier Francesco Valentini (1586–1654), gentleman composer of Rome, lived in a time of significant change for European music. Conventional narratives in seventeenth-century music histories repeatedly emphasise the rise of new dramatic musical genres against the background of a resurgent style of solo accompanied singing and novel approaches to the affective delivery of text. Partly due to present-day historiographic biases, this musical revolution – now commonly known as the seconda pratica (after the term coined by none other than Claudio Monteverdi) and concentrated at first in Italian centres north of Rome – struggles to encapsulate the complex web of musical developments, including those arising out of the prima pratica, in the early seventeenth century in other centres like Rome. An account of the ongoing cultivation of contrapuntal styles at those centres might instead provide a bridge between sixteenth-century contrapuntal works and the masterpieces of later centuries

    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

    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
