SayMore: Language documentation productivity
No full textLanguage Documenters quickly amass a large number of original recordings and artifacts based on them. We need to manage recordings, document informed consent, transcribe, translate, enter metadata, convert file formats, and, finally, submit to a digital archive. Along the way, we need to keep all these files well-organized and labeled. And we must keep track of the goals of the project in order to emerge with the desired coverage in areas such as genre, spontaneity, and the social roles of the speaker. We have powerful software for parts of this workflow, including Arbil, Elan, and EXMARaLDA. However, many of these tools appear best-suited for rather computer-savvy linguists, or those who can attend training courses. Recent linguistic software including WeSay (Albright and Author 2007) and FOLKER (Schmidt and Schütte 2010) have demonstrated that we can involve a wider spectrum of participants by using software with a task-focused interface that prioritizes clarity and efficiency over flexibility. In compensation, such software needs to emit data files that can be opened in more complex/powerful applications for further work. This paper presents SayMore (http://saymore.palaso.org), a new software tool that streamlines the collection and annotations of recordings. Currently, SayMore eases the collecting of media files from a recording device, the addition of metadata, transcription, and, perhaps uniquely, oral annotation (respeaking and translation). All time-aligned data is stored in ELAN XML format, so that projects needing to go beyond SayMore’s built-in annotation capability can do so easily. For interlinearization, SayMore can export to FLEx, Toolbox, and other formats. For sharing with the community, SayMore produces subtitled videos. For archiving, it has built-in capability to convert file formats to those appropriate for long-term accessibility. Finally, the paper describes how SayMore helps researchers monitor progress towards project goals along several axes, including genre, spontaneity, and which workflow steps have been completed

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
Variations 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
