    Lernerorientierte Fremdsprachenforschung und –didaktik. Festschrift für Frank G. Königs zum 60. Geburtstag

    No full text
    Die Festschrift spiegelt in ihren zahlreichen Beiträgen die verschiedenen Forschungsfelder und vielseitigen Tätigkeitsgebiete von Frank G. Königs wider und würdigt dessen Schaffen anlässlich seines 60. Geburtstags. Seit ihrer Entstehung hat Frank G. Königs die Fremdsprachenforschung geprägt und entscheidend an ihrer Entwicklung als wissenschaftlicher Disziplin mitgewirkt. Ihm verdankt sie sowohl wesentliche Impulse in der Forschung als auch Tendenzen, die er als einer ihrer wichtigsten Vertreter bei der Etablierung als fundiert akademischer Lehre gezeitigt hat. Ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten des Fachgebiets setzen sich mit vier Themenbereichen der Fremdsprachenforschung und -didaktik auseinander: Mehrsprachigkeit, Kompetenzen ausbilden, prüfen und erforschen, Methoden in der Fremdsprachenvermittlung, (Aus-)Bildung von Fremdsprachenlehrenden

    Kooperieren, ko-konstruieren und ko-operieren - Interviews als soziale Praxis am Beispiel von Sprachlernberatungsgesprächen in DaF

    Das Konzept von Sprache als Bestandteil interaktionaler Aushandlungsprozesse zur epistemologischen und gnoseologischen Grundlage für den wissenschaftlichen Zugriff zu machen, hat unmittelbare Auswirkungen auf das empirische Vorgehen. Dies soll im Folgenden am „Interview“ verdeutlicht werden. Dazu wird zunächst eine Übersicht darüber gegeben, welche unterschiedlichen Formen von Verständnis seiner Anwendung zugrunde liegen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird anschließend das Interview als “complex social and sociolinguistic event[s]” (Block 2000: 762) beschrieben und am Beispiel von Sprachlernberatungsgesprächen dargelegt

    Parametric Interaction for CAD application in Virtual Reality Environment

    No full text
    Traditional input-output interfaces, like mouse, keyboard and monitor are not suitable for an efficient interaction between user and software in CAD applications. On the other hand, interfaces used in virtual reality systems, like gloves and head-mounted display, could be much more effective because they allow to explore 3D-space in a more intuitive way. The development of CAD systems, based on devices commonly used in Virtual Reality should offer new characteristics that completely meet the requirements of designers. Nevertheless, even if many researches have focused their work on this topic, an efficient and precise interaction is one of the most influential limits for industrial application of VR. The objective of this research is to develop modelling techniques suitable for creating and modifying geometric 3D-objects in a virtual environment realised by means of virtual reality hardware systems. The combination of VR technology with the potential offered by a CADarchitecture, enables efficient and precise modeling with 3D-input devices without needing 2D-views like in many commercial CAD systems

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
