    Surprenants passifs dans des productions orales d’enfants francophones et italophones (4‐10 ans)

    Dans une restitution d’histoire à laquelle participent des enfants francophones et italophones de 4 à 10 ans, on observe la production de leurs formes passives, reprises et introduites. Si la plupart des passifs produits par les francophones sont des passifs d’état, les passifs des italophones commencent à exprimer à partir de 8 ans une interprétation processive du fait de l’emploi de certains auxiliaires et des temps appropriés. Les passifs canoniques sont les moins fréquents dans les deux langues tandis que les passifs pronominaux et les formes en il y a / c’è sont les plus fréquents. D’une façon générale, avant 8 ans, les enfants ne parviennent pas à réconcilier le rôle agentif du complément d’agent avec un sémantisme passif // This article analyses the production of passive forms by French-speaking and Italian-speaking children aged 4 to 10, while they are retelling a story, so as to observe how often they reproduce the original passive forms or “reformulated” them or create “new” ones. Whereas the majority of passives produced by French-speaking children are state passives, those produced by Italianspeaking children, especially from the age of 8, begin to express a dynamic semantics due to the use of certain auxiliaries and appropriate tenses. In both languages, the canonical passive forms are the least frequent while the passive reflexive and the forms il y a / c’è are the most frequent. In general, before the age of 8, children are not able to associate the agentive function of the agent complement with the semantic value of the passives // L’articolo analizza la produzione di forme passive da parte di bambini francofoni e italofoni di età compresa fra i 4 e i 10 anni, mentre rielaborano una storia. Vengono esaminate sia le forme passive «nuove» che quelle «riprese». Mentre i bambini francofoni producono per lo più delle forme passive stative, gli italofoni dagli 8 anni in poi iniziano ad impiegare alcuni ausiliari e tempi verbali che conferiscono alle forme passive un semantismo «processivo» (dinamico). La forma passiva canonica è poco usata in entrambe le lingue, mentre il si passivante e le forme il y a / c’è sono le più frequenti. In linea di massima, prima degli 8 anni i bambini non riescono ad associare la funzione agentiva del complemento d’agente al semantismo del passivo

    Reformulations définitoires spontanées chez des francophones et des italophones de 6, 8 et 10 ans

    Nous étudions ici les procédures de reformulation que des enfants francophones et italophones de 6, 8 et 10 ans mettent en œuvre lorsqu’ils restituent une histoire qui vient de leur être lue. Nous avons vérifié que le choix de la procédure est lié au lexème à définir, à sa composante substantielle et exocentrique, mais aussi à la langue utilisée. Ainsi, nous avons pu constater la tendance des italophones à préférer les procédures plus synthétisantes comparées à celles des francophones qui sont apparues plus analytiques. Nous avons donc pu mettre en évidence la capacité croissante des enfants à reformuler, sans répéter, les lexèmes entendus, à travers diverses stratégies communicatives, qui sont plus ou moins développées selon les langues employées

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
