L'accento tonale del giapponese percepito da discenti italofoni: un'indagine fonetico-percettiva
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to examine how Italian learners of Japanese perceive lexical pitch accent under different experimental conditions. I will start by describing the articulatory and acoustic features of Japanese pitch accent, making a comparison with Italian stress accent. Japanese prosodic system will be also analysed from a typological point of view. After describing the accentual patterns of standard Japanese, I will present the results of a longitudinal perceptual experiment conducted with 48 Italian-speaking learners of Japanese. In this experiment I examined (1) the difficulty in perception of accent for the four accentual patterns, (2) the difficulty in perception of accent of words with unvoiced vowels, long vowels, moraic nasals and long consonants, (3) the difference in perception of accent of meaningless and meaningful words, (4) the relation between the perception of accent and the informant's proficiency level

La Grande Guerra vista dall'Asia. Neutralità e intervento dell'Italia nelle riviste giapponesi, 1914-1915
Full text linkFrom the outbreak of the Great War in the summer of 1914, the Japanese press observed at distance Italy’s troubled path from neutrality to intervention. For ten months, commentators discussed the reasons for the Italian de facto withdrawal from the Triple Alliance and the prospects for war against Austria. Then, looking back after May 1915, they reassessed comprehensively this turning point in Italian history. This paper, complementing previous research on newspapers, covers three popular magazines and the main journal on foreign affairs. Analysis dwells in particular on the evaluation of Irredentist claims and rumours on the secret Treaty of London. Articles examined not only shed light on the image of Italy held at the time in Japan, but also illustrate the observers’ realist approach to international relations
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
