    This research aims to identify the forms and functions of imperative utterances produced by Nadiya Hussain in the Netflix cooking show, Nadiya Bakes First Season. The data of this research are imperative utterances produced by Nadiya while delivering her recipes. The descriptive qualitative method and the technique of purposive sampling are applied to answer the research questions. Based on the analysis, there are 310 imperative utterances produced by Nadiya that can be analyzed according to Holmes in Richard and Schmidt’s (1983) theory of imperative form and Condoravdi and Laurer’s (2012) theory of imperative function. The results show that based on the imperative form, base form of verb highly appeared in the show because it has the simplest form and is usually explicit enough to prevent misunderstanding about the cooking instructions. Besides, verb ellipsis has no occurrence due to the help of visualization of Nadiya while delivering the instructions. Based on the imperative functions, commands function dominates in this show due to the effectiveness of the function which is directly expressed from utterances produced by Nadiya. Group IV: disinterest advice and group II: wish-type uses have the least occurrence because these functions do not have the expectation of the realization of imperative from the hearer, while the cooking show aims to get the viewers to follow the instructions given by Nadiya. After reading this research, hopefully, the readers can recognize the forms and functions of imperative utterances, not only employed in the cooking shows but also in their daily communication

    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
