Nota ad Auson. epigr. 87, 12-13
No full textL’articolo discute le interpretazioni finora avanzate dell’uso delle lettere ΟΥ (forse come legatura ᴕ) in Auson. epigr. 87, 12, in un componimento che descrive l’attività di Euno, cunnilingus e maestro, attraverso l’alfabeto greco. Evidenziate le difficoltà dell’ipotesi di Adams, secondo cui il simbolo indicherebbe le corna del toro, si propone di spiegare ΟΥ come abbreviazione ‘filologica’ per οὕτως, coerentemente con l’impiego di Θ (v. 13), insieme segno critico e simbolo di morte.This paper discusses the hitherto proposed interpretations of the use of the letters ΟΥ (possibly as the ligature ᴕ) in Auson. epigr. 87, 12, in a poem which describes cunnilingus and teacher Eunus’ activity by means of the Greek alphabet. After highlighting the difficulties of Adams’ hypothesis that the symbol indicates bull horns, it is suggested that ΟΥ be explained as the ‘philological’ abbreviation of οὕτως, in line with the use of Θ (l. 13), both text-critical sign and symbol of death
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
L’Ars grammatica di Dositeo: una grammatica bilingue per l’insegnamento del latino nel tardo Impero d’Oriente. Prospettive sociolinguistiche e strategie didattiche
No full textSecondo gli studi più recenti, la traduzione greca parallela al testo latino principale dell’Ars grammatica di Dositeo (Pars orientis, IV secolo), che distingue quest’opera dalle altre artes latine (monolingui, benché spesso rivolte a un pubblico grecofono), si sostituirebbe a quella fatta oralmente dall’insegnante, facilitando l’accesso dei discenti alla trattazione latina. La presente ricerca ha assunto questa riflessione come punto di partenza per indagare ulteriormente il significato e le implicazioni dell’operazione di codificazione scritta di una traduzione greca. Dopo una breve introduzione su autore, tradizione manoscritta e layout, si è cercato di collocare più concretamente l’Ars nel suo contesto di fruizione per esaminare il ruolo di una traduzione di questo tipo nell’insegnamento del latino come seconda lingua: a una prospettiva di storia della didattica si è combinato uno studio sociolinguistico, che ha indagato le strategie di “avvicinamento” al testo latino messe in atto nell’interazione tra le due lingue. Infine, si è fatto uso degli strumenti elaborati dagli studi post-coloniali per precisare meglio con quali aspirazioni i potenziali fruitori di questa grammatica si accingessero all’apprendimento del latino. L’integrazione di diverse metodologie ha permesso di sviluppare una nuova interpretazione di un testo complesso, offrendo così un contributo originale alla sua comprensione e allo studio dell’apprendimento del latino come L2 nell’Oriente tardoromano.
Recent studies on this grammar suggest that the Greek translation parallel to the main Latin text of Dositheus’ Ars grammatica (Pars Orientis, 4th century), which sets this work apart from other Latin artes (typically monolingual, though often aimed at a Greek-speaking audience), replaces the oral translation provided by the teacher, thereby facilitating Greek-speaking students’ access to the Latin text. The present research adopted this perspective as a point of departure for further investigation into the meaning and implications of the written codification of a Greek translation. After a concise introduction to the author, the manuscript tradition, and the layout, I aimed to better situate the Ars within its context of use in order to understand the role of such a translation in the teaching of Latin as a second language: combining perspectives from the history of education with a sociolinguistic analysis, I explored the strategies implemented in the interplay between both languages in order to “approach” the Latin text. Finally, I capitalized on tools developed by postcolonial studies, with the aim of better defining the aspirations potential users of this grammar had when undertaking the learning of Latin. The integration of various methodologies has resulted in the development of a novel interpretation of a complex text, thereby offering an original contribution to its understanding and to the study of Latin as an L2 in the Late Roman East
