Il progetto ‘Paesaggi e Lingua’: criteri, applicazione e sfide nello studio del Paesaggio Linguistico
Full text linkPaesaggi e Lingue è un database composto da una serie di immagini fotografiche raccolte in alcune zone della città di Milano ad alta densità di esercizi commerciali gestiti da stranieri. Ogni fotografia è corredata da una scheda dati che ne classifica i vari aspetti (linguistici, spaziali, funzionali, merceologici ecc.), rendendo possibile l’inquadramento quantitativo e la selezione di casi significativi agli studiosi di diverse discipline. Facendo riferimento all’ormai abbondante letteratura sul PL, l’articolo propone la riflessione teorico-metodologica che ha accompagnato la realizzazione del data base. Le principali questioni affrontate riguardano l’organizzazione gerarchica degli elementi del PL (unità, sottounità, segni), che permette di analizzare, oltre al singolo segno, anche il campo di relazioni nel quale esso è inscritto, e il carattere composito delle categorizzazioni generali (p. es. PL istituzionale, commerciale, informale), nelle quali a determinati attori sono associati determinati spazi e funzioni. Il risultato di questa riflessione è stato una semplificazione e moltiplicazione delle variabili che permette di incrociare i dati raccolti secondo molteplici prospettive di ricerca e disciplinari
Esempi di eteroglossia nel paesaggio linguistico milanese
Full text linkThis article explores tools and findings in the study of the linguistic landscape created by foreign shop owners in two of the most multiethnic districts of Milan, Baggio and Giambellino, that moved from monolingualism to plurilingualism and heteroglossia due to the massive immigration of the last decades. The analysis of some samples of shop signs in Spanish and Arabic, which are two of the most widely represented foreign languages in these districts, is focused mainly on the relationship between languages, identity practices and communication or translation strategies, adding further information about the complex and changing patterns of language contact in a global city. This qualitative, multi- and interdisciplinary approach, and a scale of analysis focused on the multimodal display of the single sign with its units and subunits, is intended as complementary to the gathering of quantitative data, and calls for a reflection about the respective conceptual and methodological scopes of the many disciplines involved in Linguistic Landscape Studies
Carmen Martín Gaite: taller y teoría
No full textEste artículo es un primer acercamiento a la teoría implicita de la traducción en Carmen Martín Gaite, considerada como otro aspecto de su polifacetica actividad literaria.
El estudio se basa en el trabajo preliminar de fijación y análisis del corpus de las traducciones de Carmen Martín Gaite, puestas en relación con sus esporádicos comentarios sobre la traducción y con algunos de los principales temas de la traductología contemporánea.
El objetivo es investigar cómo la actitud dialógica y narrativa de la escritora le permite superar, integrándolas, muchas contraposiciones a las que siguen enfrentándose la teoría y la práctica de la traducción, desde los dilemas entre equivalencia formal y equivalencia dinámica, o entre adecuación y aceptabilidad, hasta los debates sobre la invisibilidad del traductor y el papel de la traducción en el polisistema literario
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
