Uses of Biblical Hebrew כִּי kī in Genesis, Judges, Samuel, and Ruth
No full textThis is the data set accompanying chapter 4 of Staps (in preparation). It contains all occurrences of the Biblical Hebrew word כִּי kī in Genesis, Judges, Samuel, and Ruth.
The file is a CSV file. The first line is a heading. Each other line describes a single use of כִּי kī. Fields are separated by a comma character (','). When the field value contains a comma, it is enclosed by double quotation marks ("…").
The data is annotated with the following columns:
Node: the number of the node for כִּי kī in the 2021 version of the ETCBC data set (Roorda et al. 2021). Only needed when importing the data programmatically.
Construction: indicates the larger construction כִּי kī is part of, if any (e.g. כִּי אִם kī ʾim).
Type:
adversative: 'but'.
causal: gives the reason for a state or event. Includes reasons for doing or saying something, as well as explanations based on natural laws.
causal-adversative: like causal, but also adversative ('not like this, because/but like that').
complementizer: introduces an object or subject clause.
concessive: 'though'.
conditional: protasis 'if'.
exceptive: כִּי אִם kī ʾim followed by a DP, translated 'except'.
resultative: gives the result or consequence of an event or state.
standalone: does not connect two clauses but marks some property of the clause itself.
temporal: protasis 'when(ever)', or in the past 'when'.
-: excluded (e.g. because of poetry, repetition, or textual emendation; see Notes).
CompPred: gives the predicate for cases of Type “complementizer” (usually a verb).
CommonGround: indicates whether the information in the כִּי kī-clause is in the Common Ground. In narrative portions the Common Ground is between author and reader. In quotations it is between Speaker and Addressee. Values can be:
no
yes
accommodated: the information is not in the Common Ground yet, but can be easily accommodated by the Addressee. For example, it may be not that relevant, or it is already partially CG, or it can be deduced from the rest of the CG. Typically not at-issue.
imposed: the Speaker imposes the information on the Common Ground, even though it is new, to achieve some discursive effect.
BasedOn: the verse(s) the CommonGround categorization is based on.
Notes: explanation for the choices made, cross-references, and other notes.The collection of this data set was supported by the Dutch Research Council under project number PGW.19.015
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
Lip̄nē ‘in the face of’: a locative preposition with a threatening connotation
Get PDFThe expression lip̄nē, literally "to the face of," is commonly translated as "before." In combination with the root ngp ("inflict/defeat"), this leads to awkward English translations; e.g., "Israel was defeated before the Philistines" (1 Sam 4:2). What exactly is the role of the Philistines in this event? In recent years, some scholars have used grammaticalization theory to argue that lip̄nē in this context is an Agent marker: "Israel was defeated by the Philistines." However, this view is untenable in the face of arguments from narratology, syntactic-semantic restrictions, grammaticalization theory, and language typology. In present-day English, the near-literal translation "in the face of" is a better alternative: lip̄nē is a simple Locative prepositional expression, but the element "face" has the connotation that Israel is threatened by the Philistines. In other words, Israel is in the "realm of influence" of the Philistines. The actual Agent of ngp is Yahweh, who determines the result of battles, as can be seen in the active voice: "Yahweh defeated Benjamin in the face of Israel" (Judg 20:35). In fact, the meaning of the Hebrew expression is cross-linguistically common; the only problem is that the meaning of the English preposition "before" has shifted, so that the original translation came to be misunderstood.NWOPGW.19.015Descriptive and Comparative Linguistic
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
Semantic properties of prepositions: The distinction between causal min ‘from’ and bə ‘in’
No full textIn Biblical Hebrew, both min ‘from’ and be ‘in’ are used to mark causing arguments (Agents, Instruments, Reasons, …). Reference works list the thematic roles each preposition can mark, but do not address the differences between the two. We argue that the contrast is one of ‘dominance’: min-causers are more dominant than be-causers. They can fully determine the effect, whereas the effect of a be-causer can be altered or prevented. This distinction derives from the spatial meanings of these prepositions based on an abstract spatial representation of the causal domain. The object of min is a Source or Origin, which is interpreted as being the instigator of a causal chain, and thus having dominance over that chain from instigation to effect. By contrast, the Locative preposition be describes a location close to a Ground, which is interpreted as being able to cause an effect, but not necessarily in a dominant way
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
