La lingua come sistema e come artefatto. L'emergenza delle relazioni generative nelle attività innovative
No full textIl libro esplora alcuni processi attraverso i quali gli esseri umani costruiscono relazioni tra agenti e artefatti nelle attività innovative, insistendo sulla relazione tra attività linguistica e processi di innovazione. Il ruolo centrale in questa dinamica spetta alle «relazioni generative», quel particolare tipo di relazioni tra agenti e tra agenti e artefatti che produce nuove funzionalità degli artefatti e nuove identità degli agenti. Per loro natura, le relazioni generative non esistono in anticipo, ma emergono nel processo di innovazione. Bonifati e Guardiano indagano il nesso fra queste dinamiche e l’attività linguistica, proponendo una prospettiva originale sulla relazione fra quest’ultima e i processi di innovazione, e una definizione dinamica della nozione di artefatto e di artefatto linguistico. Il capitolo finale racconta il caso esemplare di Guglielmo Marconi e dell’invenzione del radiotelegrafo, un artefatto che ha rivoluzionato il sistema della comunicazione contemporanea
Differential object marking in a dialect of Sicily
No full textThis contribution proposes an overview of the distribution ofa-marked
objects in a Romance dialect of Sicily, focusing on the relation between
a-marking and the syntactic properties of the nominal structure in object
position. The following properties are considered: type of lexical head (pro-
nouns vs. nouns); coding of the Person feature on the lexical head and its
relation with the functional head D; type of noun (proper names, kinship
nouns, other nouns); lexical realization of the determiner (D head); defi-
niteness and animacy of the object; Number. It will be shown that, in the
dialect explored,a-marking is constrained by two major restrictions: (1)
a-marking is only possible if the head D is phonetically realized, and (2)
[+human] referentsmust bea-marked
Modeling Syntactic Change under Contact: The Case of Italiot Greek
Get PDFIn this paper, we investigate patterns of persistence and change affecting the syntax of nominal structures in Italiot Greek in comparison to Modern (and Ancient) Greek, and we explore the role of Southern Italo-Romance as a potential source of interference. Our aim is to highlight the dynamics that favor syntactic contact in this domain: we provide an overview of the social context where these dynamics have taken place and of the linguistic structures involved

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
Interazione tra i generi come interazione interculturale: pratiche di assimilazione della diversità in contesti comunicativi pubblici
No full textVariations 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
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
