Análisis de las políticas y planificaciones lingüísticas postcoloniales de Senegal desde la ecolingüística
No full textThis article focuses on the analysis of language policies and planning undertaken by the different governments of Senegal from independence to the present. We intend to address this issue based on the scientific literature and political-linguistic decisions and actions to elucidate the complexity of the Senegalese sociolinguistic situation. In addition, we resort to the ecolinguistic analysis approach of the Senegalese socio-educational environment for a sustainable regulation of the country’s sociolinguistic ecosystem. The results demonstrate the emergence and diffusion of a mixed national identity, associated with urban wolof, which offers new socio-educational perspectives and an opportunity for sustainable regulation of the Senegalese educational system, thanks to the neutralization of linguistic conflicts.Este artículo se centra en el análisis de las políticas y planificaciones lingüísticas emprendidas por los diferentes gobiernos de Senegal desde la independencia hasta la actualidad.

Representaciones sociolingüísticas del wolof y del pulaar entre estudiantes de lenguas de la Universidad Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis (UGB)
No full textThis article offers a quantitative and
qualitative analysis of the sociolinguistic
representations of Wolof and Pulaar among
students majoring in languages at the Gaston
Berger University of Saint-Louis (UGB,
hereinafter). The sociolinguistic situation and
representations of national languages have evolved
since the country's political independence. The
current sociolinguistic dynamics of Wolof and
Pulaar, which are the two main national languages,
demonstrate a progressive change of status and
function, thanks to the diminution in their
stigmatized representation among Senegalese.
However, the postcolonial educational policies
undertaken by the different governments constitute
an obstacle to the consolidation of their integration
into the educational system. The stigmatization of
national languages has always been the key factor in
the failure of most attempts to plan language
teaching and learning that was adapted to the
sociolinguistic reality of the country.Este artículo ofrece un análisis
cuantitativo y cualitativo de las representaciones
sociolingüísticas del wolof y del pulaar entre
estudiantes de lenguas en la Universidad Gaston
Berger de Saint-Louis (UGB, en adelante). La
situación y representaciones sociolingüísticas de las
lenguas nacionales han ido evolucionando desde la
independencia política del país. Las dinámicas
sociolingüísticas actuales del wolof y del pulaar, que
son las dos principales lenguas nacionales,
demuestran un cambio progresivo de estatus y de
función, gracias a su representación cada vez menos
estigmatizada entre los senegaleses. Sin embargo, las
políticas educativas postcoloniales emprendidas por
los diferentes gobiernos constituyen un obstáculo
para la consolidación de su integración en el sistema
educativo. La estigmatización de las lenguas
nacionales siempre ha sido el factor clave del fracaso
de la mayoría de los intentos de planificación de una
enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas que se adecuara
a la realidad sociolingüística del país

El panorama sociolingüístico actual en Senegal: interacciones y regulaciones desde la perspectiva ecolingüística
No full textThis article focuses on the analysis of the Senegalese ecolinguistic panorama to explain the interactions and their mechanisms of regulation and sociolinguistic pacification. Indeed, Senegal, being one of the countries where various national and foreign languages coexist, is characterized by complex multilingualism. This plurality has become a socio-cultural richness shared by individuals of diverse ethnic origins, joined by the colonial language, French, which still holds the status of the only official language. In recent decades, migratory movements within and outside Senegal borders, and the context of globalization, have led to important sociolinguistic changes, such as Wolofización, the emergence of minority languages and other languages as new actors in the sociolinguistic and cultural panorama.Este artículo se centra en el análisis del panorama ecolingüístico senegalés para explicar las interacciones y sus mecanismos de regulación y de pacificación sociolingüística. En efecto, Senegal, por ser uno de los países donde coexisten varias lenguas nacionales y extranjeras, se caracteriza por un multilingüismo complejo. Esta pluralidad se ha convertido en una riqueza sociocultural compartida por individuos de orígenes étnicos diversos, a los que se une la lengua colonial, el francés, que ostenta todavía el estatus de única lengua oficial. En las últimas décadas, los movimientos migratorios dentro y fuera de sus fronteras, y el contexto de la globalización, han propiciado importantes cambios sociolingüísticos, como la wolofización, la emergencia de las lenguas minoritarias y de otras lenguas como nuevos actores en el panorama sociolingüístico y cultural
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
