Nicholas Evans, Ces mots qui meurent. Les langues menacées et ce qu'elles ont à nous dire
No full textLe linguiste australien Nicholas Evans s’est intéressé à la lente érosion, au niveau mondial, de la diversité linguistique. Si la disparition des langues n’est pas un phénomène nouveau dans l’histoire de l’humanité, ce qui inquiète l’auteur, c’est l’accélération du processus puisque environ tous les 15 jours le dernier locuteur d’une langue s’éteint. Son ouvrage commence par un prologue qui donne la tonalité du contenu. Il fait référence à la langue kayardild qui n’est parlée aujourd’hui que ..

Imagery in "The Horse Whisperer" by Nicholas Evans
No full textBakalaura darba mērķis ir izvērtēt tēlainību Nikolasa Evansa romānā „Zirgu Vārdotājs”, lai vērotu kā noteikti tēlainības veidi, ieskaitot arī motīvus, atbalsta un attīsta tēmu. Pētījumā izmantotā kvalitatīvā metodoloģija sastāv no iepriekš veikto pētījumu kvalitatīvās analīzes un tēlainības analīzes romānā „Zirgu Vārdotājs”. Pētījumā iegūtie rezultāti norāda, ka romānā izmantotie tēlainības veidi ne tikai stilistiski to bagātina, bet arī pastiprina skumju un zaudējuma tēmas, kas īpaši iezīmē dabas tēlainību.

The methods of this study include desk research that consists of analysing the available literature on imagery, as well as qualitative analysis of the imagery in “The Horse Whisperer”. As the result, the findings of the research show that the types of imagery used in the novel do not only enrich it stylistically but also reinforce the themes of grieving and loss which are particularly marked by use of natural imagery.

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
