About this Dataset
The field of Perceptual Dialectology is an area of sociolinguistic study that investigates how non-linguists view different varieties of language. It often includes hand-drawn map exercises in which participants indicate where they believe various varieties are spoken, and their attitudes towards them.
In 2015, as part of a public linguistics outreach event (the Dublin Language Garden) held at Trinity College Dublin, the authors created an activity for members of the public and collected hand-drawn maps from them that gave responses to the following tasks:
a. Indicate where you come from on the map (using a red dot sticker)
b. Draw where you think the Dublin dialect occurs
c. Draw the boundaries of any other dialects you believe occur in Ireland
d. Tell us what you think are the features of those dialects
e. Tell us what you think are the characteristics of the people who speak those dialects.
Participants of all ages were encouraged to take part, but only data from those over 18 were retained after the event and used in this data collection. Participants were all given information on how the data was to be anonymised, processed and published on a clearly displayed poster to read before they were given a map to complete the 5 tasks (listed above). No additional information about the participants, aside from that acquired through Task a, was collected.

This zipped folder contains the .kml data of multiple hand-drawn maps organised into folders by their location
DLG_PDIE_KML_data_by_part.zip
This zipped folder contains the .kml data of multiple hand-drawn maps organised into folders according to the participants.
These folders have been organised in this way in order to make discoverability easier between the data. Users may wish to analyse the data only by the locations of the varieties identified by the participants. Other users may only be interested in the data given by specific participants, and therefore the folder that organises the data in this way may be of better use to them. Both folders, however, contain the same data, it is simply how they are organised.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/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
‘Bloody Hell, I'm Grand’
No full textThis chapter discusses a case for the close study of adjective forms themselves across varieties of spoken English. Adjectives have received scant coverage in the study of language varieties in comparison with other major word classes, though studies of adjective intensifiers have been shown to be viable when examining varieties and variation. The study most resonant with the present investigation is Wagner. Using a bottom-up corpus linguistic approach, it highlights patterns of amplifier-adjective bigrams in the Corpus of Global Web-Based English and observes some trends of change. The frequency lists for LCIE and the BNC were first examined closely so as to identify their functions using concordance line searches and the results list was ‘cleaned’ of items that were erroneously tagged. Methodologically, it is important to look at relative frequency and distribution. Sometimes items appear to be frequent but are generated by a small number of conversations and not evenly distributed across the whole corpus
