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
On the emergence of reduplication in German morphophonology
No full textAbstract
This paper discusses reduplication as a technique of word formation in German. In contrast to
previous approaches, which consider reduplication as extra-grammatical and unproductive, this study
identifies rhyme and ablaut reduplication as truly reduplicative processes in the morphology of German.
A sizeable corpus of these reduplications and an acceptability rating study attest the productivity of this
phenomenon. Other contemplable cases of reduplicative structures are properly treated as either
phonological doubling, lexical sequencing, or (special cases of) compounding. An analysis in terms of
Optimality Theory (OT) is offered which suggests that both rhyme and ablaut reduplication emerge when
a segmentally and prosodically underspecified expressive morpheme is attached to a base – given
that the base strictly obeys certain word prosodic requirements. The present approach considers the
morphophonology to be blind to morphosyntactic structure and consequently eschews constraints
that make explicit reference to base-reduplicant correspondence. The OT grammar successfully
models the emergence of the fixed bipedal structure, the obligatory segmental deviance of the
reduplicant, non-exponence of the expressive morpheme in the case of non-trochaic bases,
the variable linearization of base and reduplicant in ablaut reduplication, and the interaction of reduplication
with segmental alternations. Certain (crosslinguistic) correlations regarding constraints on reduplicative
word formation and poetic devices, such as rhyme and meter, are discussed.</jats:p
