Blogs segundo a tipologia textual baseada em contexto: proposta para análise textual em estudos da tradução
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013Este trabalho, filiado à pesquisa de minha co-orientadora Dra. Elaine Espíndola, realizado na Hong Kong Polytechnic University, tem como objetivo apresentar resultados de uma pesquisa desenvolvida na interface entre Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF) e Estudos da Tradução com foco em Tipologia Textual baseada em contexto. A base teórica do trabalho está assentada na proposta de 'Atividades Sócio Semióticas', representada graficamente na chamada Esfera de Atividades Sócio-Semióticas, de Matthiessen, Wu e Teruya (2007). Apresenta-se inicialmente uma coleta de dados (blogs) compilados em formato eletrônico e relativos às tipologias textuais nos contextos do português brasileiro (PB) e inglês americano (IA). A seguir, apresenta-se a classificação dos textos coletados nesses blogs com base nas 'Atividades Socio-Semióticas'. Após a classificação sócio semiótica, uma análise de transitividade é realizada com vistas a explorar a relação entre a Tipologia Textual baseada em contexto e os padrões gramaticais do sistema de transitividade que realizam os diferentes tipos textuais. Por fim os resultados dessa análise são comparados para fins de identificar diferenças e semelhanças nas configurações texto-contextuais dos dois conjuntos de textos produzidos em ambos os idiomas. Os desdobramentos dessa comparação buscarão traçar um perfil 'socio-semiótico'dos textos analisados, com vistas a fornecer um modelo de parâmetros textuais para formação de tradutores na dimensão bilíngue/ textual do desenvolvimento de suas competências This work is affiliated to the research undertaken at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University by my co advisor Dr. Elaine Espíndola. It aims at presenting the results of a research developed at the interface between Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Translation Studies about Context based Text Typology. The theoretical framework rests on the notion of "Socio Semiotic Activities" graphically represented by the Sphere of Socio Semiotic Activities proposed by Matthiessen, Wu and Teruya in 2007. First, a collection of data (texts from two blogs) from the context of Brazilian Portuguese and American English Text Typology compiled in electronic format is presented. Afterwords, the classification of the selected texts in terms of their Socio Semiotic Activities is exposed, and after this classification, an analysis of transitivity is carried out in order to explore the relation between Context based Text Typology and the grammatical different patterns of transitivity realized in differente types of texts. Lastly, the results obtained from the analysis of the texts in Brazilian Portuguese (PB) and in American English (IA) are compared aiming at identifying differences and/or similarities in the text and contextual configurations in both sets of texts produced in both languages. The unfoldings of this comparison will attempt to draw a Socio-semiotic profile of texts under study with a view to providing a framework for translators' education in what regards the development of their bilingual/textual subcompetence

La petite perche et le tombeau du peuple cherokee
No full textThe snail darter and the cherokee people's grave. (Peter Matthiessen, p.77-96)
The Tellico dam, constituting the twenty fifth and last stage of the gigantic hydraulic equipment programme carried out by the Tennesse Valley Authority, will bring doubtful economic benefits, a fact that official commissions have admitted. On the other hand, the flooding of the Little Tennesse Valley which ensued, has both harmed the natural heritage (with the wiping out of the snail darter which lived only in these waters) and the cultural heritage (with the flooding of many archeological sites and places of worship of the Cherokee Indians).
P. Matthiessen tells the story of the strange battle which for fifteen years opposed the TVA, peasants, defenders of the environment, the Cherokee Indians, the local and federal authorities and which the TVA finally won : the dam has been built and the water has risen behind it, transgressing in the process an impressive number of federal laws while, in Washington, an amendment passed under extraordinary circumstances made the deed legitimate. Large corporations which mastermind land improvement projects, are prompted by their own logic and considerable intertia and the political and administrative authorities are hard put to control them.Le barrage de Tellico, vingt-cinquième et dernier du gigantesque programme d'aménagement hydraulique réalisé par la Tennessee Valley Authority, est d'une utilité économique des plus douteuses, comme l'ont reconnu des commissions officielles. Par contre, l'inondation de la vallée du Little Tennessee, qu'il provoqua, porte atteinte à la fois au patrimoine naturel (disparition d'une espèce de poisson particulière à ce bassin) et culturel (submersion de nombreux sites archéologiques et de lieux de culte des Indiens cherokees).
P. Matthiessen conte l'étrange combat qui, au long de quinze années, a opposé la TVA, les paysans, les défenseurs de l'environnement, les Indiens cherokees, les milieux politiques et administratifs locaux et nationaux, d'où la TVA est sortie victorieuse : ce barrage est construit et mis en eau tout en contrevenant à un nombre impressionnant de lois fédérales ; cependant, un amendement adopté à Washington dans des conditions extraordinaires met en accord le droit et les faits. Les grandes organisations, maîtresses d'œuvre de l'aménagement, sont animées d'une logique propre et d'une grande inertie, que les pouvoirs politiques et administratifs ne pilotent que malaisément.Un pescado y la tumba del pueblo Cherokee. (Peter Matthiessen, p.77-96)
La represa de Tellico, vigésimo quinta y última, en el gigantesco programa de tratamiento hidráulico realizado por la Tennessee Valley Authority, TVA, tiene una utilidad económica muy dudosa, como reconocieron las comisiones oficiales. En cambio la inundación del valle del Little Tennessee, a que dió lugar, representa a la vez un atentado contra el patrimonio natural (desaparición de una especie icticola, propria de esta cuenca fluvial) y cultural (submersion de numerosos yacimientos arqueológicos, y del lugar de cultos de los indios Cherokees).
P. Matthiessen cuenta el extraño combate que opuso, durante quince años, la TVA a los campesinos, los defensores del medio ambiente, los indios Cherokees, y los medios políticos y administrativos locales, a los nacionales. De este enfrentamiento salió victoriosa la TVA : la represa fué construida, con la creación del lago artificial correspondiente, violando una impresionante cantidad de leyes federales. Pero en Wáshington fué adoptada una enmienda, en condiciones excepcionales, para poner de acuerdo al derecho con los actos. Las grandes organizaciones responsables del tratamiento hidráulico del río, están animadas por una lógica propia de ellas, y por una inercia muy grande, que los poderes políticos y administrativos no alcanzan a pilotear sin disgusto.Matthiessen Peter.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Revisiting Halliday (1990): The role of linguistics in the study of the discourse of sustainability and how language shapes reality
No full textThree decades since Halliday (1990) presented a paper to AILA in Greece entitled New ways of meaning: a challenge to applied linguistics and introducing the notion of an ecological study of language, “ecolinguistics” has been established and recognized as a field of research and activity, drawing centrally on Halliday (1990). But is his challenge being met outside the academic community? In this two-part talk, we revisit the challenge and mission envisaged by Halliday. In the first part of the talk, Prof. Matthiessen will discuss the questions, “What is the role of linguistics in the study of the discourse of sustainability?” and “How does language shape reality?”, covering Halliday’s notion of appliable linguistics — appliability (cf. Matthiessen, 2014), and for us as academics, his emphasis on social accountability (cf. Matthiessen, 2012); in the second part, Dr. Law will attempt to answer the questions, “What has changed in climate talk in the last decade?” and if we, linguists and language educations, want to save our planet, “What still needs to be done?”. We adopt both an appliable linguistics approach and a corpus-driven systemic functional linguistics approach to investigate the questions in a wide range of registers where environmental issues are being processed semiotically and opinions are being formed, including examples from political discourse, news media, social media, and late-night talk shows on topics surrounding climate change, renewable energy, wildlife conservation and extinction, and economic inequality. We also pay attention to texts likely to be influential in the life of children and their gradual construal of their own world views with associated value systems (cf. Matthiessen, 2015). This provides a snapshot of the language use by the media outlets in construing climate talk in the 2010s. Alternative words to approach climate talk in the 2020s will be discussed.ReferencesHalliday, M.A.K. (1990). New ways of analysing meaning: A challenge to applied linguistics.
