No full textLINGUISTICS VITALITY, LANGUAGE SHIFT AND SOCIAL CHANGE OF THE REJANG LANGUAGE OF BENGKULU: a case study of the use of term of address among the youth
Full text linkAbstract: This study is intended to find out the use of the term of kinship as the term of address in speech acts among the youth of the Rejang ethnic group in Bengkulu.

STUDI AWAL SEBARAN BAHASA-BAHASA ETNIK DI PROVINSI BENGKULU
Full text linkThis preliminary study is intended to describe the distribution of languages of ethnic groups in Bengkulu Province. This research is based on geographic linguistics in the province of Bengkulu. The basic vocabulary instrument is 300 (Swadesh and Kern) and 150 cultural vocabularies. Data collection is carried out at a number of observed villlages proportionally. Data analysis was performed with lexicostatistics and dialectometry. The results show the following. With the exception of Enggano and the languages of ethnic immigrants, the Rejang, Lembak, Serawai, Pasemah, and Mukomuko languages are related to each other. The differences between these ethnic languages are mostly at the level of vowel sounds /a/, /o/ or /aw /, /é/ and /ê/, diphthong, nasal clusters such as /mp/, /nt/, /nc/, and /ngk/ on the one hand and /p/, /t/, /c/, /k/ on the other. Rejang language has 4 dialects, that are Lebong, Musi, Keban Agung and Pesisir. The distribution of Rejang ethnic languages covers Lebong District, part of Rejang Lebong, parts of Kepahiang, parts of Bengkulu Utara, and parts of Bengkulu Tengah Regency, while Mukomuko ethnic language distribution covers some areas of Mukomuko Regency. The spread of Lembak language covers Padang Ulak Tanding and Padang sub-districts in Rejang Lebong, and in some villages in Bengkulu and Bengkulu Tengah Regency. Serawai language has distribution in of Seluma and Bengkulu Selatan Regencies, in addition to some villages in Kepahiang Regency. Pasemah ethnic language has distribution in some areas of Kabupaten Kaur. The Lembak, Serawai, and Pasemah languages are used in the written tradition of the Ulu script. Some specimens of Ulu Lembak, Serawai, and Pasemah texts are preserved as family heirlooms or village heirlooms in the area of the ethnic language in question.Keywords: linguistics geography, ethnic language, Bengkul
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
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
