The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Swedish Kelly-list
The Swedish Kelly-list is a freely available frequency-based vocabulary list that comprises general-purpose language of modern Swedish. The list has been generated from a large web-acquired corpus (SweWAC) of 114 mln. words dating from the 2010’s. It is adapted to the needs of language learners and contains 8 425 most frequent lemmas that cover 80% of SweWAC.
The way the Swedish Kelly-list is compiled, it is a reliable resource for suggesting lexical syllabus for CEFR-based courses in Swedish as well as for use in evaluating learner appropriate texts for different CEFR levels, for compiling course books, creating vocabulary exercises and tests, compiling dictionaries, and for a number of other language learning purposes and NLP applications. The list can be used by language learners and teachers, test creators, lexicographers, comparative linguists, corpus linguists, computational linguists, and many other user groups.
The headwords on the Swedish Kelly-list contain the following information, see also Table below:
id/running number (i.e. relative placement in the frequency band);
raw frequency (RF);

Ned Kelly tattoos - Origins and forensic implications
No full textTattoos depicting Ned Kelly, a 19th-century Australian bushranger (outlaw) are occasionally encountered in the contemporary Australian population at forensic autopsy. To determine the characteristics of decedents with such tattoos, twenty cases were identified in the autopsy files at Forensic Science SA. All of the decedents were white males (100%) with an age range of 20-67 yrs (average 37 yrs). Seventeen of the deaths (85%) were unnatural, due to suicide in eight cases (40%), accidents in seven cases (35%) and homicide in two cases (10%). Compared to the general autopsy population suicides and homicides were 2.7 and 7.7 times higher, respectively, than would be expected, with a striking male predominance. A Ned Kelly tattoo identified at autopsy in another country or in a disaster victim identification situation may suggest that the decedent was Australian or had a connection with that country. Although the population studied is highly selected, individuals with these tattoos had an above average incidence of traumatic deaths.Roger W. Byar
Role of dimerization in KH/RNA complexes: The example of Nova KH3
No full textThe K homology module, one of the most common RNA-binding motifs, is present in multiple copies in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic regulatory proteins. Increasing evidence suggests that self-aggregation of KH modules has a functional role. We have used a combination of techniques to characterize the behavior in solution of the third KH domain of Nova-1, a paradigmatic KH protein. The possibility of working on the isolated module allowed us to observe specifically the homodimerization and RNA-binding properties of KH domains. We provide conclusive evidence that self-association of Nova-1 KH3 occurs in solution even in the absence of RNA. Homodimerization involves a specific protein/protein interface. We also studied the dynamical behavior of Nova-1 KH3 in isolation and in complex with RNA. These data provide a model for the mechanism of KH/RNA recognition and suggest functional implications of dimerization in KH complexes. We discuss our findings in the context of the whole KH family and suggest a generalized mode of interaction
Sur les traces de Joan Kelly
No full textLorsque parut en 1977 l’article de Joan Kelly Gadol, « Did women have a Renaissance ? », on commençait à parler de gender. Dans sa formulation, qui appelait évidemment une réponse négative, c’était bien une question « renversante » : elle soumettait à interrogation une notion rarement mise en doute, la Renaissance, et introduisait comme critère possible de sa pertinence, le Féminin. Cet article a profondément marqué les générations suivantes d’historiens, spécialistes de l’histoire des femmes et du genre, suscitant de profondes remises en question, des controverses et une multitude de textes reprenant ce questionnement des fondamentaux de nos disciplines. Trois historiennes, deux médiévistes et une moderniste tentent ici, plus de trente ans après, une relecture faisant le point sur les apports et les remises en question de ce texte fondateur.When Joan Kelly Gadol published her article in 1977 « Did women have a Renaissance ? », the study of gender was in its infancy. The title’s simplicity, which clearly suggested a negative response, staggered historians at the time as it questioned a rarely discussed notion, the Renaissance, and its pertinence for Womanhood. The essay profoundly marked the following generations of women and gender historians, raising important questions and generating numerous controversies. In this article two medievalists and one early modern historian offer a new reading of this foundational text thirty years later, reviewing historical analyses of courtly love, court society, and gender

"J'avais le pouvoir d'en haut" : la représentation de l'identité dans le témoignage autobiographique d'Allain Kelly
No full textCette étude constitue une analyse ethnologique d'un témoignage autobiographique qui a pris forme au cours d'une série d'entretiens s'échelonnant sur une période de vingt ans. Le narrateur, Allain Kelly, est né en 1903 dans un village francophone au Nouveau-Brunswick. L'intérêt du témoignage provient surtout de la façon dont le narrateur s'exprime à travers une multitude de récits porteurs de sens. L'ensemble est donc étudié avant tout comme une oeuvre personnelle, où un individu raconte ses expériences en vue de communiquer sa vision du monde. Afin d'examiner la question de la représentativité du témoignage, une attention particulière est accordée à la façon dont le narrateur interprète les événements qu'il raconte. Ses réflexions, tant personnelles qu'elles soient, peuvent être vues comme reflétant une collectivité profondément marquée par une culture religieuse catholique et canadienne-française. Le témoignage de Kelly contient des récits se rapportant à plusieurs milieux de vie distincts, mais la période dominante est celle où Allain Kelly, son épouse Léontine et sa famille prennent part au grand mouvement de la colonisation en milieu forestier dans le nord du Nouveau-Brunswick à partir des années 1930. Il s'agit d'un récit d'épreuves où le témoignage de Léontine Kelly vient compléter celui de son mari. C'est lorsqu'Allain Kelly décrit comment il a réussi à vaincre de nombreuses difficultés qu'il déclare : «j'avais le pouvoir d'en haut », signifiant que la main de Dieu le guidait dans ses démarches. Le récit de la colonisation nous permet de comprendre l'influence que l'esprit religieux pouvait avoir sur les actions des individus qui participaient au mouvement que l'on appelait à l'époque « le retour à la terre ». Un des rôles joués par Allain Kelly a été celui de chanteur folklorique et cet aspect de sa vie est abordé ici surtout en vue de démontrer la place occupée par la musique dans un milieu où la culture était transmise essentiellement par l'oral. Enfin, le récit de vie d'Allain Kelly se distingue à la fois par la diversité des expériences qui y sont racontées et par l'unité de l'ensemble, dans lequel le surnaturel joue un grand rôle. L'étude démontre à quel point l'analyse d'un seul récit de vie peut contribuer au domaine de l'ethnologie au Canada français.Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 201
