Linguistic competence in Spanish (L1) in patients with autism spectrum disorder : a case study
Full text linkEl autismo es un trastorno del desarrollo que afecta a la comunicación y a las interacciones sociales. Se caracteriza por la presencia de patrones conductuales rígidos y estereotipados, una gama limitada de intereses e importantes déficits lingüísticos, que varían según la gravedad de cada paciente. La primera parte del presente trabajo analiza qué es el autismo y cuáles son sus síntomas, poniendo énfasis sobre las deficiencias lingüísticas y comunicativas. Asimismo, se consideran el diagnóstico y las evaluaciones necesarias para detectar la presencia de dicho trastorno. La segunda parte del trabajo consiste en el análisis de un estudio de caso, un niño con autismo cuya lengua materna es el español, para determinar y analizar sus habilidades lingüísticas y comparar los resultados con los conocimientos generales sobre el trastorno.Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication and social interactions. It is characterised by the presence of strict stereotyped behavioural patterns, a restricted range of interests and important language impairments, which vary depending on the gravity of each patient. The first part of this article analyses what autism is and which its symptoms are, emphasising linguistic and communicative deficits. It also considers the process of diagnosis and the necessary evaluations to detect such a disorder. The second part of the article consists in the analysis of a case study of a child with autism, whose mother tongue is Spanish. It it his language abilities will be determined and analysed, and the results obtained in the study compared with the existing general knowledge about the disorder
Bibliografía esencial sobre sociedad, lengua e identidad en contexto migratorio, con enfoque en la comunidad hispana
No full textThe following dataset collects and organizes bibliographical data in three different languages (Italian, Spanish, English) related to sociolinguistics in migration, focusing especially on Spanish-speaking communities’ mobility, as it belongs to the workflow of the post-doc project titled "Spagnolo e italiano in contatto: repertori linguistici, dinamiche migratorie e mobilità internazionale a Bologna" (“Spanish and Italian in contact: linguistic repertoires, migration dynamics and international mobility in Bologna” – LILEC Department, Università di Bologna).
The corpus structure follows a path starting from a broader perspective on urban sociolinguistics and focusing next on the studies related to migration dynamics. Afterwards, it takes more into consideration the community researched through the project, examining the Hispanic group mobility firstly on global scale and secondly on the Italian territory. As far as themes are concerned, the dataset considers specific dynamics regarding linguistic contact phenomena, identity redefinition and communicative practices in plurilingual urban environments.
The bibliographical references were collected through different online academic databases, such as Google Scholar, Dialnet, Scielo, Redalyc and e_Buah. Following the databases search and collection of relevant references, these were classified into four thematic categories previously mentioned, that is 1) urban sociolinguistics, 2) migration dynamics, 3) global Hispanic migration and 4) Hispanic migration in Italy. Finally, a fifth file is included, where references to corpora and databases available online dedicated to linguistic contact in migration contexts are presented
I manuali digitali come strumenti di inclusione linguistico-culturale: le varietà dello spagnolo in contesto ELE
No full textStarting from an examination of the presence of Spanish language varieties in educational programs, this paper explores whether digital resources are used to enhance students' exposure to diverse spoken forms of Spanish. The primary objective is to analyze how different publishing houses incorporate Spanish varieties into their manuals, particularly at basic proficiency levels. The focus is on audiovisual contents, and the findings suggest that the editorial policy significantly influences choices in constructing and presenting these digital materials. The linguistic diversity and normative variations of Spanish are often underrepresented or inconsistently portrayed, possibly creating confusion for students. As a result, the teacher's role as a mediator is essential in helping students navigate and make sense of these language varieties
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
