Przysłowie Diabeł tkwi w szczegółach we współczesnej polszczyźnie
No full textThe proverb Diabeł tkwi w szczegółach ‘the devil is in the detail’ in contemporary Polish. Rhetoricity, mystification, stereotype
The paper is devoted to the functioning of the proverb diabeł tkwi w szczegółach in multi-genre texts of contemporary Polish. The author discusses the rhetoric potential of the phrase, used when there are problems with the realization of some undertaking. Senders like to use it in the beginning (in the title) and at the end of the text. The persuasive efficiency of an utterance containing the discussed phrase is raised by granting the status of a proverb to the sentence diabeł tkwi w szczegółach, and in particular, by garnishing it with such adjectives as dawne, stare, tradycyjne (‘ancient’, ‘old’, ‘traditional’), or a stylistic qualifier jak to mówią chłopi ‘as peasants say’. In actual fact, the antiquity and popularity of this maxim are a mistification. The last part of the paper is devoted to a reconstruction of the semantics of the proverb, especially with regard to the formally similar phrase bóg tkwi w szczegółach ‘the god is in the detail’.</jats:p
Przysłowie w świetle danych systemowych
Full text linkThe paper intends to outline a reconstruction of the linguistic picture of proverb in Polish. The author makes an overview of the information given in the dictionaries of both historical and modern Polish, i.e. etymology of the word przysłowie (proverb), its lexicographical definitions, word formation derivatives and idioms.Artykuł poświęcony jest rekonstrukcji obrazu przysłowia w polszczyźnie. Autor wychodzi od etymologii wyrazu przysłowie, a następnie analizuje informacje podawane w słownikach polszczyzny ogólnej – zarówno historycznych, jak i współczesnych – definicje leksykograficzne, derywaty słowotwórcze, utarte połączenia wyrazowe
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
Przysłowie jako jednostka języka (w perspektywie tekstologii integralnej)
No full textProverb as a linguistic unit (from the perspective of integral text linguistics)
The paper presents arguments in favour of treating proverbs as text, and in consequence, as linguistic units. The starting point is the concept of integral text linguistics formulated by Jerzy Bartmiński and Stanisława Niebrzegowska-Bartmińska in their handbook Tekstologia (‘Text linguistics’, 2009). According to this theory, text is a supra-sentence linguistic unit, and the text of the parole plane corresponds to an abstract template of the langue plane. The argumentation that this paper presents in favour of regarding proverbs as text is based on an analysis of examples from the National Corpus of Polish which contain proverbs. It shows clearly that proverbs fulfill all of the requirements of textuality; among others, they are uniquely distinguished as a communicative whole, they receive a clear genre qualification, they have their senders and receivers, a clear communicative intent and a stylistic qualifier. The final part of the paper contains a proposition to describe proverbs as “minimal text”, and to separate the terms minimal text and prototypical text. Within this interpretation, a proverb is a prototypical minimal text that is different from both non-prototypical minimal texts, and from non-prototypical non-minimal long texts such as novels, as well as prototypical texts such as fables which tend to be longer (non-minimal).</jats:p
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
