La microlingua green: progettazione di un archivio terminologico digitale multilingue della sostenibilità.
Get PDFIl progetto “La microlingua green: progettazione di un archivio terminologico digitale multilingue per la sostenibilità” si articola in due obiettivi di ricerca principali. Il primo obiettivo riguarda la progettazione e lo sviluppo di una banca dati terminologica digitale multilingue (italiano, inglese e francese), concepita per rispondere alle esigenze di uniformazione terminologica nel settore dell’energia eolica, offrendo uno strumento che consenta la gestione sistematica e aggiornata della terminologia settoriale. Il secondo obiettivo è incentrato su un’analisi critica e approfondita dei fenomeni terminologici emergenti, condotta attraverso lo studio di tre corpora specialistici. Tale analisi mira a esaminare le dinamiche linguistiche sottese, quali la standardizzazione dei termini, le variazioni interlinguistiche, i fenomeni di sinonimia, di prestito e di adattamento lessicale, nonché i processi di terminologizzazione e determinologizzazione identificabili nei testi analizzati. L’approccio metodologico adottato si basa su un’analisi comparativa di tre corpora creati ad hoc, ciascuno corrispondente a una delle lingue di riferimento. I corpora sono stati ulteriormente articolati in quattro sottocorpora distinti, rappresentativi di differenti tipologie di discorso: istituzionale, giornalistico, aziendale e divulgativo. Questa articolazione consente di individuare tendenze terminologiche rilevanti e di analizzare le variazioni che emergono nei diversi contesti comunicativi, contribuendo così a una comprensione più approfondita delle dinamiche linguistiche che caratterizzano il discorso specialistico sull'energia eolica. La crescente digitalizzazione della documentazione e la diffusione su scala globale delle pratiche di sostenibilità rendono imprescindibile l’adozione di risorse terminologiche digitali affidabili e aggiornate. Tali strumenti si rivelano essenziali per i traduttori, per le imprese e per le istituzioni che necessitano di soluzioni efficaci per garantire l'accuratezza e la coerenza del messaggio comunicativo.The project “The green microlanguage: design of a multilingual terminology database for sustainability” is structured around two main research objectives. The first objective concerns the design and development of a multilingual digital terminological database (Italian, English, and French), aimed at meeting the need for terminological standardization in the wind energy sector by providing a tool for the systematic and up-to-date management of sector-specific terminology. The second objective focuses on a critical and in-depth analysis of emerging terminological phenomena, conducted through the study of three specialized corpora. This analysis aims to examine the underlying linguistic dynamics, such as term standardization, interlinguistic variations, phenomena of synonymy, lexical borrowing and adaptation, as well as the processes of terminologization and determinologization observed in the analyzed texts.
The adopted methodological approach is based on a comparative analysis of three ad hoc corpora, each corresponding to one of the target languages. These corpora have been further divided into four distinct sub-corpora, representing different discourse typologies: institutional, journalistic, corporate, and popular science. This structure makes it possible to identify significant terminological trends and analyze the variations that emerge in different communicative contexts, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the linguistic dynamics that characterize specialized discourse on wind energy. The increasing digitalization of documentation and the global spread of sustainability practices make the adoption of reliable and up-to-date digital terminological resources essential. Such tools are crucial for translators, businesses, and institutions that require effective solutions to ensure the accuracy and consistency of their communication
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
