Emojitaliano: A Social and Crowdsourcing Experiment of the Creation of a Visual International Language
No full textInspired by the historical models of artificial and auxiliary languages, Emojitaliano is the result of a social and crowdsourcing experiment which was conducted by a group of seventeen translators, followers of the “Scritture brevi” blog, and led to the creation of an international language based on emojis. The experiment was carried out during 2016 on Twitter in the framework of the translation into emoji of Pinocchio, the famous Italian tale. Emojitaliano consists of 1) a repertoire of stable and coherent lexical correspondences between the emoji UNICODE set and the Italian language and 2) a set of predefined simplified rules agreed on during the translation process. Emojitaliano is stored in @Emojitalianobot, an online tool and digital environment for translation into emoji, running on Telegram, the popular instant messaging platform. It is the first open and free Emoji-Italian translation bot based on UNICODE descriptions, which contains a glossary with all the senses assigned by the translators to emojis during the translation process of the famous Italian novel. This paper presents the translation projects of Emojitaliano, the background and its lexicon and grammar and finally Emojitalianobot
PARSEME Survey on MWE Resources
No full textThis paper summarizes the first results of an ongoing survey on multiword resources carried out within the IC1207 Cost Action
PARSEME (PARSing and Multi-word Expressions). Despite the availability of language resource catalogues and the inventory of
multiword datasets available at the SIGLEX-MWE website, multiword resources are scattered and difficult to find. In many cases,
language resources such as corpora, treebanks, or lexical databases include multiwords as part of their data or take them into account in
their annotations. However, these resources need to be centralized to make them accessible. The final aim of this survey is to create a
portal where researchers can easily find multiword(-aware) language resources for their research. We report on the design of the survey
and analyze the data gathered so far. We also discuss the problems we have detected upon examination of the data as well as possible
ways of enhancing the survey
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
GPT-based Language Models meet Emojitaliano: A Preliminary Assessment Test between Automation and Creativity
Full text linkStarting from the crowdsourcing experience of Pinocchio in Emojitaliano, the present paper intends to test Chat-GPT's ability to take on the Emojitaliano grammar and dedicated glossary to verify and reapply the Emojitaliano rules in order to produce translations on its own. A test of re-translation of Pinocchio is presented
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
