As representações socioculturais do indígena num livro didático de PLH: cristalizações e mudanças
No full textThe aim of this study is to analyse the sociocultural representations of indigenous people contained in the PLH1 teaching manual Brasileirinho: português para crianças e pré-adolescentes by Claudenir Gonçalves (2017). The work falls within the framework of language didactics studies, particularly of Brazilian Portuguese as a Heritage Language, and those related to social representations. The analysis aims to consider the different approaches adopted by the author to the transmission of the indigenous figure and his culture and, at the same time, highlights any existence of prejudices and stereotypes
O português como língua veicular na divulgação das culturas «exóticas» no século xviii: o caso do manuscrito 536 «Noticias do Reyno do Malabár»
No full textWithin the intercultural activity that the Portuguese Crown developed in the 16th-18th centuries, the reports on the New Worlds occupied an important space, supported by a relevant manuscript production in Portuguese, Latin and ‘exotic’ languages (Zwartjes, 2011, p.1). Non-native figures also contributed to the circulation of this knowledge; they considered the Lusitan vernacular a comprehensive, influential and respected linguistic environment at the crossroads of colonial empires. In this study, we will deal with manuscript 536, «Noticias do Reyno do Malabár», without signature and date, and preserved in the National Library of Lisbon: we will put it in dialogue with other archive sources, by analyzing its contents in the light of the socio-cultural and linguistic panorama in which it was probably written. We will also reflect on the explicit and implicit positions adopted by the author – an indigenous priest from Malabar (India), a student of the Collegio Urbano de Propaganda Fide in Rome – concerning the information conveyed in the work, and we will finally highlight the role of the Portuguese language at the time of the decline of its prestige in the colonial network. That the testimony of our interest offers, both for the data itself and for the way they are collected and presented, is a clear adherence to a cultural, religious and linguistic policy focused on the construction of a copious collection of texts, of different typologies; texts concerning the knowledge of non-European lands and peoples – although filtered by the Eurocentric perspective – which constitute the foundations for the action of evangelization and the maintenance of the possessions
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
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
Os componentes culturais na seleção do léxico para os materiais didáticos de POLH: estudo de caso
No full textNo âmbito dos estudos linguísticos relativos à aquisição e à aprendizagem, o conceito de Heritage language germinou há mais de 50 anos no Canadá e espalhou-se rapidamente pelo mundo, adaptando-se aos diferentes contextos socioculturais das línguas. Atualmente, no caso do português como língua pluricêntrica, existem vários estudos, projetos, seminários, escolas, cursos e instituições difusos em numerosos países, que desenvolvem o seu ensino como língua de herança. Portanto, este artigo visa contribuir a esse panorama, sugerindo uma análise linguística qualitativa do léxico exposto no livro “Brasileirinho: Português para crianças e pré-adolescentes”, editado pela E.P.U em 2017 e autoria de Claudenir Gonçalves, material didático específico para filhos de imigrantes falantes de português de variante brasileira língua de herança. Por meio da compilação e da observação do corpus lexical extraído da obra, evidenciarei que papel desempenha a cultura na formação de um vocabulário para um manual didático dirigido a lusodescendentes, quais são os aspetos selecionados pelo autor na sua construção pessoal da identidade brasileira e que motivações latentes subjazem a essas escolhas. Enfim, o último objetivo é comprovar a hipótese de Van Deusen-Scholl (2003) que considera a língua de herança um sistema linguístico identificado e caraterizado em primeiro lugar por elementos socioculturais e afetivos e só posteriormente mediante elementos linguísticos
