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
The Language of Soccer – a Sociolect or a Register?
Full text linkThe theoretical framework of this paper is based upon the views of Polish and
Anglo-Saxon sociolinguists on the concepts of sociolect and register. In the main section
the author gives a brief overview of the language of soccer and distinguishes 10 subvarieties
of this language, which differ from each other mainly in lexico-grammatical as well
as stylistic features. Finally, the author attempts to categorize each of these subvarieties as
either a sociolect or a register.Abstrakt (Język piłki nożnej – socjolekt czy rejestr?). Podstawę teoretyczną rozważań
w niniejszym artykule stanowią poglądy polskich i anglosaskich socjolingwistów dotyczące
pojęć socjolektu i rejestru. W zasadniczej części tekstu autor charakteryzuje pokrótce
język piłki nożnej, wyróżniając 10 pododmian tego języka, które różnią się między sobą
głównie pod względem leksykalno-gramatycznym, jak również stylistycznym. Na koniec
zostaje podjęta próba zaszeregowania każdej z omówionych pododmian do grupy socjolektów
bądź rejestrów
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
The Rhetoric of Violence in Polish and English Soccer Reporting
Full text linkThis paper explores the use of conflict-related metaphors in soccer language in
a contrastive perspective within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory by Lakoff
and Johnson (1980). The analysis, which involves both a quantitative and qualitative approach,
aims to demonstrate that FOOTBALL is conceptualized not only in terms of WAR
but also of other source domains. Thus in addition to the SOCCER MATCH IS WAR
metaphor, the author proposes and discusses three other conceptual metaphors: DEFEAT
IS DEATH, A SOCCER MATCH IS A BOXING BOUT and ATTEMPTING TO SCORE
IS HUNTING, all of which, to a large extent, frame the soccer reporting discourse
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
CZŁOWIEK TO KOMPUTER. O metaforach informatycznych w polszczyźnie codziennej
Full text linkFor more than ten years, computer terms have been borrowed into youth slang as well as standard Polish. These borrowings are used in new metaphorical senses. The paper aims to provide an overview and analysis of computer metaphors, many of which can be regarded as linguistic expressions underlying the conceptual metaphor A HUMAN IS A COMPUTER proposed by the author. An attempt will also be made to reconstruct the linguistic worldview generated by this metaphor.Od kilkunastu lat obserwujemy zjawisko przenikania terminów informatycznych do slangu młodzieżowego jak również do polszczyzny ogólnej.Owe zapożyczenia funkcjonują w nowych, metaforycznych sensach. Celem artykułu jest przegląd i analiza metafor informatycznych, których znaczącą część można uznać za językowe poświadczenia proponowanej przez autora metafory konceptualnej CZŁOWIEK TO KOMPUTER. Podjęta zostanie również próba zrekonstruowania językowego obrazu człowieka, wyłaniającego się z tej metafory
