Examining Cultural Equivalence used in the Translation of Dammaj\u27s Novel "Al-Rahinah"
Get PDFيتناول هذا البحث نوع التكافؤ الثقافي الذي استخدم في ترجمة رواية دماج "الرهينة" إلى اللغة الإنجليزية بقلم مي جيوسي وكريستوفر تينجلي. بالاعتماد على تقنيات نيدا في التكافؤ الرسمي والديناميكي. تبحث هذه الدراسة فيما إذا كانت العناصر الثقافية اليمنية في "الرهينة" قد تم نقلها بشكل شكلي أو تكييفي. أثناء التحليل، تم تحديد نوع التكافؤ المستخدم وقياسه كمياً. في هذه الحالة، نادرا ما يستخدم التكافؤ الرسمي على الرغم من أن التكافؤ الديناميكي يبدو أنه يستخدم بشكل رئيسي لنقل العناصر الثقافية اليمنية إلى اللغة الإنجليزية. بشكل عام، يبدو أن المترجمين اعتمدوا على التكافؤ الديناميكي لإضافة أو شرح أو استبدال أو حذف المصطلحات اللغوية المصدرية التي ربما أدت إلى خسارة كبيرة وتحريف للثقافة اليمنية. علاوة على ذلك، أثبت نهج التكافؤ الرسمي عدم فعاليته لأنه افترض مسبقا ترجمة كلمة بكلمة للمواد الثقافية مما أدى إلى عدم فعالية نقلها في اللغة الهدف. وكما أظهرت نتائج البحث، لم يساهم أي من التكافؤ الديناميكي والرسمي في الترجمة في تحسين نتائج الترجمة لأن كلا النهجين أخفيا عددًا كبيرًا من المفاهيم الثقافية الموجودة في النص المصدر.This research paper examines the type of cultural equivalence used in translating Dammaj\u27s novel "Al-Rahinah" into English by May Jayyusi and Christopher Tingley. Using Nida\u27s ideas about formal and dynamic equivalence, this study looks into whether the cultural aspects of Yemen in "Al-Rahinah" were communicated in a formal or an adaptive way. During the analysis, the type of equivalence used was identified and quantified. In this case, formal equivalence was rarely used, although dynamic equivalence seemed to be mainly employed to transfer the Yemeni cultural items into English. Generally, it appeared that the translators relied on the dynamic equivalence to add, explain, replace, or omit source linguistic terms that may have resulted in a significant loss and misrepresentation of Yemeni culture. Besides, the formal equivalence approach was inefficient because it presupposed a word-for-word translation of cultural items, which led to their ineffective conveyance in the target language. As the research findings showed, none of the dynamic and formal equivalency in translation contributed to the better translation outcome because both approaches concealed a significant number of cultural notions present in the source text.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
