Una traducción en clase de español: algunas observaciones sobre la versión española de De los deberes de los hombres (1843) de Silvio Pellico, traducida y corregida con notas gramaticales por Manuel Galo de Cuendías
No full textIn 1836, the Spanish liberal Manuel Cuendías publishes in Tou- louse a Spanish translation of a very well-known moral treatise written by the Italian intellectual Silvio Pellico, De los deberes de los hombres, dis- curso dirigido a un jóven (1836). The text will have several successive edi- tions, to which the translator adds a number of grammatical annotations of contrastive nature between Spanish and French, since the treatise is used by Cuendías in his Spanish language courses at the Royal College of Toulouse. The focus of this study lies at the intersection between the history of language teaching and learning and translation history. Our objective is, on the one hand, to foreground the political and educational context in which this unusual translation of Pellico’s book is published and, on the other, to examine the translator’s comments and annotations in the light of his linguistic and didactic ideas

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
Exploring language learning and teaching through texts and ideas: A historiographical perspective
No full textThis article focuses on new research conducted by various scholars in the field of language teaching from a diachronic perspective. The collected volume "Texts and ideas in the history of
language learning and teaching" brings together peer-reviewed contributions that analyze
an array of textual genres spanning diverse historical periods, countries
and cultures, and encompass various languages. The texts reflect the
evolving landscape of ideas and socio-historical paradigms pivotal to
language teaching and learning. Ranging from the 16th to the 20th century, these contributions employ diverse methodological perspectives,
with a common denominator being the historiographical slant. The
authors delve into questions such as: how – and why – were pedagogical
texts compiled across diverse countries and periods? How can these
texts be analyzed linguistically? How have other textual genres – general
and specialized press, literary texts, travel books, etc. – contributed to
enhancing the debate on foreign language teaching? How do these texts
relate to the socio-political and historical context(s)
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
