Perbandingan pemilihan kata dan analisis semantik inkuisitif dalam lirik dan aspek muzikal antara lagu dangdut di Malaysia dan Indonesia
Music is a medium of approaching society through its composers who play the role of messengers so as to create certain responses in humans. This phenomenon can be felt through psychological responses and human behavior when listening to songs. This shows the manifestation of the songwriter's own thoughts to give birth to philosophical values, reason and wisdom through song art. Casual study research on song lyric data involving words is generally found to tend to be superficial and ignore the importance of the musical aspects that accompany it. To reach the true manifestation of the songwriter's thoughts inquisitively by exploring holistically the data conceptualized as 'song lyrics', a detailed and systematic study was conducted on a total of 872 pieces of dangdut songs in Malaysia and Indonesia throughout the era (60s-2000s). The choice of dangdut song genre in this study was driven by the strength of the song's presentation, which is correlated to the realities of people's lives. From the overall findings of the song lyrics data obtained, as many as 112,529 (tokens) and 13,591 types of word frequency (types) have been identified through the corpus database. All data information was categorized into three (3) types of words, namely Name Words (KN), Verbs (KK) and Adjectives (KA) using ATLAST ti application. The musical aspect data was also analyzed and clarified in terms of the type of instrument and the ability to stimulate the musical texture (tempo and tone scale) that underlies each dangdut song composition to the listener. The results of the analysis of word types led to the discovery of implicit/abstract words that collocated with them and were explored in depth using an Inquisitive Semantic approach by Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin (2014). Additional inquisitive information through the division of musical aspects has also helped to strengthen the analysis of song lyrics holistically. The overall result of the study through both aspects analyzed has been able to highlight the true manifestation of the thoughts of dangdut songwriters. This study is also expected to open up opportunities for scholars in the field of linguistics to explore every perspective of language use in the context of song lyrics so that it can be explained systematically, authentically and reliably
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
Representasi ‘Hubungan Terlarang’ dalam lirik lagu “Gemuruh” Search Ft Wings berdasarkan semiotik Roland Barthes: (Representation of \u27Forbidden Relationships\u27 in the lyrics of the song "Gemuruh" Search Ft Wings based on the semiotics of Roland Barthes)
Makna dalam bentuk muzik mempunyai variasi tersendiri yang signifikan terhadap realiti sosial dan ideologi yang dibawa oleh pelbagai kelompok genre muzik. Genre muzik ‘Rock’ misalnya, ekspresi yang dizahirkan menerusi lirik serta irama yang ditampilkan merepresentasikan luahan tersendiri hasil dari tantangan realiti kehidupan harian dalam sesebuah kelompok masyarakat. Persoalannya, adakah pendengar menyedari dan memahami makna sebenar lirik yang diungkapkan atau hanya terbuai dengan kesyahduan melodi nyanyian dan pesona iringan muzik yang melatarinya? Terdapat juga tuduhan bahawa terdapat lagu didakwa mempunyai unsur ‘negatif’ dan tidak sesuai diperdengar kepada umum. Sedangkan penilaian itu tidak cuba mengesan manifestasi sebenar yang ingin disampaikan oleh penulis lirik. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk menganalisis dan menjelaskan makna yang terkandung dalam lirik lagu bergenre rock pada sekitar era 1990-an iaitu “Gemuruh”. Kajian juga akan memerihalkan manifestasi sebenar atau mesej yang ingin disampaikan oleh penulis lirik disebalik paparan peristiwa yang digambarkan dalam lirik lagu tersebut. Kaedah analisis dijalankan secara kualitatif dengan memfokus kepada “teks lirik” sebagai objek, dengan cara mentafsir serta memahami kod ‘tanda’ (decoding sign) di sebalik teks tersebut menerusi pendekatan semiotik Roland Barthes. Justeru analisis akan melalui dua tahap (two order of signification), iaitu tahap 1) komponen penanda (signifier) dan petanda (signified) melibatkan makna detonasi, konotasi dan mitos bagi melihat ketepatan maknanya agar lebih mudah diyakini dan sesuai dijadikan sandaran pemahaman masyarakat. Kajian mendapati bahawa lirik lagu tersebut adalah merupakan suatu bentuk usaha memberi kesedaran dan pesanan kepada setiap pasangan yang bercinta termasuklah kepada mereka yang bakal mendirikan rumah tangga agar tidak melakukan perkara di luar batas pergaulan
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
KEUNGGULAN DAN NILAI LAGU PATRIOTIK BERDASARKAN ASPEK PEMILIHAN KATA DALAM LIRIK DAN KESESUAIAN ELEMEN MUZIK
Lagu-lagu patriotik dilihat sebagai salah satu jambatan penghubung ke arah manifestasi pengkarya dalam merealisasi dan memupuk semangat ini ke jiwa pendengar. Penghasilan lagu patriotik menuntut para pengkarya untuk melihat dengan jelas kepentingan memartabatkan lagu-lagu ini agar jelas akan maksud dan tujuan asal ciptaannya. Berpaksikan saranan ini, satu anjakan paradigma perlu diketengahkan bagi meninjau aspek pemilihan kata berteraskan “Kata Adjektif” dalam lirik/senikata lagu patriotik serta elemen muzik yang melatarinya sehingga mampu merangsang motivasi serta perasaan semangat patriotik di jiwa pendengar. Dalam erti kata yang lain, kertas kerja ini bertujuan melihat kekuatan kata dalam menyuntik semangat patriotik dalam kalangan setiap bangsa Malaysia. Penyesuaian ciptaan lagu patriotik perlu diambil kira memandangkan generasi hari ini mempunyai mentaliti yang jauh berbeza dengan generasi terdahulu. Pun begitu, keutuhan nilai-nilai berkaitan patriotisme tidak sesekali dipinggirkan bagi memastikan sebuah karya patriotik yang unggul masih lagi releven sehingga kini. Bagi memastikan matlamat ini tercapai, sejumlah 78 buah lagu-lagu berkonsepkan “Patriotik” yang terdapat Malaysia bermula sebelum dan sesudah merdeka hinggalah ke hari ini dianalisis liriknya menggunakan kaedah pautan AntConc. Seterusnya leksikal utama (Kata Adjektif) mengikut jumlah kekerapan dikategorikan berdasarkan fokus kajian iaitu kekuatan golongan Kata Adjektif dalam lirik lagu patriotik. Golongan kata yang ditemui kemudiannya dikelaskan mengikut kesesuaian tema nilai berkaitan patriotisme di Malaysia iaitu 1. Cinta, Setia dan Semangat, 2. Taat Setia Kepada Raja dan Negara, dan 3. Sanggup Bekorban Untuk Negara. Kajian ini seterusnya diperluaskan skopnya dengan menganalisis dari segi elemen muzik melalui pemilihan kunci nada (Major/Minor) serta “Tempo” (ukuran kelajuan laju @ bpm). Kaedah ini penting bagi memperlihatkan kesan terhadap suasana (Mood) yang melatari ciptaan lagu patriotik. Pada akhir analisis ini, kajian berjaya menunjukkan keunggulan dan kreadibiliti lagu-lagu patriotik di Malaysia. Lagu Patriotik masih lagi dianggap releven dan tidak jauh tersasar dari maksud dan tujuan asal lagu tersebut digubah.</jats:p
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
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
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
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
