    Studi filologici e linguistici sui composti in Licofrone

    Il lavoro muove dall’esigenza di studiare la lingua di Licofrone in maniera più approfondita di quanto sia stato fatto fino ad ora. A tal fine, si è scelto di trattare uno dei fenomeni linguistici salienti dell’Alessandra, la presenza di composti nominali (questi ultimi oggetto, in sede introduttiva, di una breve discussione teorica): in particolare, sono state realizzate ottanta schede di hapax e diciannove di primum dicta. Ciascuna scheda contiene osservazioni di natura morfologica, lessicale e semantica e, spesso, considerazioni di ordine storico-linguistico e letterario. L’analisi dei composti così compiuta, oltre a favorire l’interpretazione minuta di singoli passi dell’Alessandra, permette di meglio individuare alcune caratteristiche del poema attribuito a Licofrone. Esse sono per lo più di natura lessicale, ma contribuiscono a delineare il significato stesso dell’opera: si sono individuati in particolare un lessico della parentela e un lessico della ‘violenza’, entrambi volti a far risaltare la contrapposizione tragica tra i Troiani, vinti, e i Greci, feroci vincitori e al tempo stesso vittime di destini di morte; proprio i Greci sono talvolta caratterizzati in modo grottesco grazie al ricorso al lessico comico. L’uso dei composti serve però anche a fini meta-poetici: particolare attenzione è stata rivolta ai casi (anche solo possibili) di interpretatio Homerica. Quest’ultimo versante della ricerca ha portato a conclusioni simili a quelle già raggiunte per altre vie da precedenti studi: Licofrone mostra spesso, infatti, una consonanza con i cosiddetti scholia D

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Pondera exacta ad Castoris

    Tra gli instrumenta inscripta i pesi romani che recano l’iscrizione exactum ad Castoris costituiscono un gruppo non trascurabile per numero di esemplari e interesse storico. La formula epigrafica garantiva la conformità rispetto ai campioni ufficiali conservati presso il tempio dei Dioscuri a Roma. La presenza di tale iscrizione si riscontra prevalentemente su pesi in bronzo di due tipologie: a sfera decalottata e a ciotola impilabili. Lo studio della diffusione di questa particolare categoria di pondera, i contesti di ritrovamento e le loro stesse caratteristiche suggeriscono che essi siano stati concepiti per essere usati sia in Italia sia nelle province europee di frontiera da funzionari, mercatores o medici per pesare quantità medio-piccole di merci o sostanze, verosimilmente nel corso del II secolo d.C

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
