Dániel Z. Kádár e Michael Haugh. Understanding Politeness
Full text linkEm Understanding Politeness, Dániel Z. Kádár e Michael Haugh apresentam um panorama geral dos estudos da Politeness, uma área da Pragmática e da Sociolinguística desenvolvida a partir dos anos de 1970. A Politeness, como uma tradução mais directa revela imediatamente, dedica-se a estudar as formas de comunicar tendo em conta as convenções sociais, a boa educação e a delicadeza. Mas vai mais longe, integrando também a perspectiva do outro, o modo como pensamos que gostaria de ser tratado, o tom que empregamos em seu benefício, as palavras que escolhemos e os gestos e emoções de que as fazemos acompanhar. Dada esta perspectiva alargada, parece-nos que a tradução mais correta deste Politeness será o português “cortesia”, que transmite sem grandes perdas estas múltiplas dimensões do conceito original
(Im)politeness and mixed messages
No full textThis chapter maps out the space occupied by phenomena that do not belong to either politeness or impoliteness, but in some sense fit both. It focuses on mixed or mismatching interpersonal messages that are incongruous on at least one level of interpretation or generate a sense of interpretive or evaluative dissonance. They encompass phenomena that typically attract labels such as sarcasm, banter and teasing. The authors discuss the pragmatic background of such mixed messages, especially drawing on approaches to irony, how they figure in classic politeness theories, and, in particular, how they work. This part of the chapter considers their metapragmatics, the constituents of the ‘mix’ of messages, how particular ‘mixes’ become conventionalised, their functions and also how they are perceived
Intercultural (Im)politeness
Full text linkThis chapter explores (Im)politeness in intercultural settings. The study of intercultural (Im)politeness lies at the intersection of two complex, fundamentally interdisciplinary fields, namely, sociopragmatics and intercultural communication. This chapter offers an overview of the key concepts relevant to the study of intercultural (Im)politeness in an effort to open up a relatively understudied area within (Im)politeness research to more extended research. A particular focus in the chapter is on teasing out the way in which (Im)politeness in intercultural settings invariably involves a complex intersection of multiple perspectives, and the implications of this complexity for the analyst. This is illustrated through case studies that focus on how intercultural (Im)politeness can be analysed in both micro, interactional and macro, intergroup settings
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
