Evaluative Lexis in Product Descriptions
No full textIzvērtējošā leksika, arī pasīzstama kā novērtēšana, ir specifiska pieeja, kas izmantota, lai izpētītu, aprakstītu un izskaidrotu kā valoda ir lietota, lai paustu kāda izvērtējumu attiecībā uz konkrētu fenomenu vai uzvedību, kā arī ieņemtu konkrētu nostāju attiecībā uz tekstā izteikto priekšlikumu. Novērtēšana ir viens no trim galvenajiem diskursa semantiskajiem resursiem, kas veido interpersonālu nozīmi, kopā ar ‘līdzdalību’ un ‘vienošanos’. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt, kā dažāda izvērtējošā leksika izmantota produktu aprakstos, un kā pareizs izvērtējošās leksikas lietojums var tikt izmantots kā stratēģija, lai palielinātu tirdzniecību. Metodoloģija izmantota šajā pētījumā ir korpusa lingvistika, kura galvenokārt koncentrējas uz valodas lietojumu un palīdz atpazīt sistēmas, izmantojot kvantiatīvo analīzi ar kvalitatīvajiem elementiem. Pirmkārt, rezultāti norāda, ka izanalizētie produktu apraksti neseko konkrētiem noteikumiem, secības izteiksmē, taču visi apraksti pauž vienu mērķi, tas ir reklamēt produktu. Otrkārt, analīze atklāj, ka visbiežāk izmantotā saistīšanas stratēģija ir ‘monoglosija’, un tajā pašā laikā visbiezāk izmantotā gradācijas stratēģija ir ‘paaugstināšana’. Atslslēgas vārdi: novērtēšana, saistība, graduēšana, produktu apraksti, reklāmas žanrs.Evaluative lexis, also referred to as appraisal, is a specific approach used to explore, describe and explain how language is used to express one’s evaluation of certain phenomena or behaviour, as well as how one adopts a particular stance towards the value proposition conveyed by a text. Appraisal is one of the three major discourse semantic resources construing interpersonal meaning, with involvement and negotiation. The purpose of the study is to explore how product descriptions employ different evaluative lexis and how the proper usage of evaluative lexis can be used as a strategy to increase sales. The methodology used in this study is corpus linguistics, which primarily focuses on the use of language and helps to discover patterns by the use of quantitative analysis with qualitative elements. First, the results have shown that the analysed product descriptions do not follow certain set of rules in terms of moves, however all the descriptions share the same purpose, which is promoting the product. Second, the analysis reveals that the most commonly used engagement strategy is ‘monoglossia’, and at the same time the most frequent graduation strategy is ‘raise’
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
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
