Tagalog Behavioural Experiment
No full textThe main experiment reported here is part of the project SAVANT - Systematicity and Variation In Word Structure Processing Across Languages: A Neuro-Typology Approach. Building on previous work on Greek and English, the project aims to investigate lexical access in morphologically complex words in a wider range of under-investigated languages, including Indo-European languages like Bangla and Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS), and languages from outside the Indo-European family like Arabic and Tagalog. The same experimental paradigm is used to present words which break either a syntactic category rule (re-idea – re- attaching to a noun) or a semantic rule (re-smile – re- attaching to an unergative verb), together with the grammatical, existing words (reappear), and see whether the behavioural and neural responses observed in previous research with English and Greek are universal.
The current experiment is a lexical decision task in Tagalog (Austronesian, Philippines). We employ a paradigm where category and semantic violations relate to prefix attachment rules, using two prefixes (mag- and ma-).

The experiment pre registered here is part of the project SAVANT (Systematicity and Variation In Word Structure Processing Across Languages: A Neuro-Typology Approach). Building on previous work on Greek and English, the project aims to investigate lexical access in morphologically complex words in a wider range of under-investigated languages, including Indo-European languages like Bangla and Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS), and languages from outside the Indo-European family like Arabic and Tagalog. The same experiment is used to present words which break either a grammatical category rule (eg. ‘re-idea’ in which the verbal prefix ‘ re-‘ is attached to a noun) or a compositional semantic rule (eg.’re-smile’ – ‘re-‘ requires that the verbal stem it attaches to be able to take a result-state-denoting internal argument, so attaching it to an unergative verb violates that rule), together with grammatical, existing words formed from the same affix (eg. reappear), and see whether the behavioural and neural responses observed in previous research with English and Greek are universal. The current experiment is a lexical decision task in Bangla (Bengali). We employ a paradigm where category and semantic violations relate to nominal prefix attachment rules, using two prefixes (প্রতি prôti, দুঃ duḥ)

The current experiment is a lexical decision task in Modern Standard Arabic. We employ a paradigm where category and semantic violations relate to root and pattern interleaving. The quadriliteral pattern taC1aC2C3aC4 (where C=root consonant) tends to have reflexive, passive, or resultative meaning. We have interleaved this pattern with attested roots to form unattested nonce words, some of which result in category violations, in which the root itself is only or primarily attested in nominal words, and semantic violations, in which the root is attested in verbs, but is semantically unsuited to a reflexive, passive, or resultative

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
