Les verbes itératifs en -éti du vieux lituanien et l'imparfait baltique
No full textABSTRACT: This paper is devoted to the Lithuanian iteratives with the suffix -ėti
(e. g. plýšti «to tear», intransitive —
pléišėti «to tear slowly», intransitive), derived originally from the preterite of iterative and causative formations in -yti,
developed with a morpheme -jā. The origin of this class of verbs casts some light on the history of the Baltic imperfect, which continues the imperfect of iteratives in
-āje / o-.RÉSUMÉ: L’article est consacré aux itératifs lituaniens pourvus du suffixe -ėti (par exemple, plýšti «se déchirer» — pléišėti
«se déchirer lentement»), historiquement fondés sur le prétérit des formations itératives et causatives en -yti, élargi au moyen d’un morphème -jā. L’origine de cette classe de verbes jette une certaine lumière sur l’histoire de l’imparfait baltique continuant l’imparfait des itératifs en -āje / o-.Ostrowski Norbert, Petit Justyna, Petit Daniel.

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
The etymologies of "perkūnas" and "aitivaras"
No full textThe present paper consists of two parts. The first one is dedicated to the etymology of the Lithuanian noun perkūnas ("thunder, thunderbolt"). According to the author, perkūnas is a derivative with a possessive suffix -Hon- / -Hn from the IDE *perkwu-s ("oak"). The second part concerns the origin of the Lithuanian aitvaras ("supernatural being," OLith. aitvaras). The analyzed noun is an instance of the so-called Caland system in the Baltic languages, and it traces back to the older compound word with the meaning *"being bestowed with flaming power.
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
Keli šaknies -sk-, -šk- veiksmažodžiai
No full textStraipsnyje analizuojami keli šaknies -sk-, -šk- veiksmažodžiai. Atsižvelgiant į tai, kad lietuvių kalboje šaknies finalės priebalsių grupės spirantas + k/g traktuojama priklausomai nuo pozicijos prieš balsį arba priebalsį, pvz. megz-C : mezg-V, panašios metatezės būtų tikėtina ir veiksmažodžiuose su priesaga -sėti po veliarinio priebalsio, t. y. *mirskėti vietoj mirksėti, *džiuzgėtis vietoj džiugsėtis. Jos nebuvimas, pasak autoriaus, rodo, kad čia turimi naujadarai. Minėta metateze autorius bando paaiškinti ir du pavyzdžius, šaknyje turinčius -sk-, t. y. viskėti, -a, -ėjo „judėti, krutėti į visas puses (paprastai būnant vienoje vietoje)” ir tuskėti, -a, -ėjo „bildėti; plakti (apie širdį); kulti“ bei reikšti, -ia „turėti reikšmę, žymėti ką nors; perteikti, atskleisti kokį turinį; perduoti žodžiais; kilti aikštėn, rastis kokiam reiškiniui, ypatybei“. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Veiksmažodis; Šaknis; Verb; Root of the wordSeveral verbs with -sk-, -šk- in the root are analysed in the article. Taking into account the fact that spirant + k/g in the final consonant cluster of the root in the Lithuanian language is treated depending on its position: before a vowel or a consonant, for example, megz-C : mezg-V, a similar metathesis should be expected in verbs with suffix -sėti after a velar consonant, i.e. *mirskėti instead of mirksėti, *džiuzgėtis instead of džiugsėtis. According to the author, its absence shows that the words are neologisms. The author uses the said metathesis in his attempts to explain two more examples, with -sk- in the root, i.e. viskėti, -a, -ėjo “move to all sides (usually by staying in one place)” and tuskėti, -a, -ėjo “beat; throb (referring to the heart); hammer” and reikšti, -ia “have a meaning, denote something; convey, reveal certain content; convey verbally; appear, emerge (referring to a certain phenomenon, quality)”
