Fach und Sprache(n)
Full text linkDer vorliegende Band dokumentiert die Ergebnisse der Tagung "Fach und Sprache(n)" der Matthias-Kramer-Gesellschaft, die am 27. und 28. September 2024 an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn stattfand. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie Fachwissen sprachlich gefasst, vermittelt und in unterschiedlichen historischen wie gesellschaftlichen Kontexten verhandelt wird. Die Beiträge nähern sich diesem Thema aus sprach- und kulturhistorischer, übersetzungswissenschaftlicher, didaktischer und politischer Perspektive.
Untersucht werden u.a. die didaktische Gestaltung frühneuzeitlicher Musiklehrwerke, die Entwicklung linguistischer Fachterminologie im Bereich der Nominalkategorien sowie die Rolle von Mehrsprachigkeit und Übersetzung in der Diplomatie des 17. Jahrhunderts. Weitere Studien widmen sich der tschechischen Fachsprachenbildung im Spannungsfeld von nationaler Selbstbehauptung und überregionaler Anschlussfähigkeit, der aktuellen Stellung des Deutschen als Wissenschaftssprache, der Popularisierung astronomischen Wissens in der Frühen Neuzeit sowie den stilistischen Konstanten fachlicher Darstellung – exemplarisch am Passivgebrauch von Matthias Kramer bis heute.
Der Band zeigt, dass Fachsprachen weder statische Gebilde noch bloße Hilfsmittel fachlicher Kommunikation sind. Sie erweisen sich vielmehr als historisch gewachsene, politisch geprägte und medienabhängige Ausdrucksformen, die in jeweils eigenen institutionellen, kulturellen und sozialen Rahmenbedingungen entstehen und sich fortentwickeln.This volume documents the results of the Matthias Kramer Society's conference on "Fach und Sprache(n)", which took place on September 27 and 28, 2024, at the University of Bonn. The conference focused on the question of how expert knowledge is linguistically captured, communicated, and negotiated in different historical and social contexts. The contributions approach this topic from linguistic and cultural-historical, translation studies, didactic, and political perspectives.
Among other things, they examine the didactic design of early modern music textbooks, the development of linguistic terminology in the field of nominal categories, and the role of multilingualism and translation in 17th-century diplomacy. Further studies are devoted to the development of Czech technical language in the context of national self-assertion and supraregional connectivity, the current status of German as a language of science, the popularization of astronomical knowledge in the early modern period, and the stylistic constants of technical language.
The volume shows that technical languages are neither static constructs nor mere tools for technical communication. Rather, they prove to be historically grown, politically influenced, and media-dependent forms of expression that arise and evolve within their own institutional, cultural, and social frameworks
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Regiomontanus light : Astronomische Fachtexte zwischen populärer wissenschaftlicher und populärwissenschaftlicher Literatur
Full text linkkoamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
