    No full text
    Leksis atau kosakata adalah salah satu dari beberapa komponen penting dalam sebuah bahasa. Tanpa mengetahui kosakata, pembelajar bahasa tidak bisa memahami bahasa itu sendiri karena kosakata membentuk kerangka bahasa. Sangat penting untuk pembelajar bahasa agar meningkatkan pengetahuan leksikal mereka. Kesadaran morfologis memiliki peran yang signifikan terhadap pengetahuan leksikal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi antara kesadaran morfologis dan pengetahuan leksikal pada pembelajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing di Indonesia dimana bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa pertama mereka. Bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa agglutinatif yang banyak mengandung prefiks dan sufiks dalam proses morfologisnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasi statistik. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah 89 mahasiswa tahun pertama jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Brawijaya. hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa mayoritas partisipan berada di level menengah dari kesadaran morfologis dan pengetahuan leksikal. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kesadaran morfologis dan pengetahuan leksikal dengan derajat korelasi .842. partisipan dengan kesadaran morfologis yang tinggi akan memiliki pengetahuan leksikal yang juga tinggi. Hubungan antara kesadaran morfologis dan pengetahuan leksikal terjadi di pembelajar bahasa Inggris yang memproses bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa pertama yang dimana bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa agglutinatif yang memiliki beberapa morfem per kata. Disarankan kepada peneliti selanjutnya untuk melihat kesadaran morfologis dan pengetahuan leksikal dalam hubungan kausal

    Systemic Functional Analysis of NATO’s Linguistic Strategies to Debunk Russian Information Warfare

    Information warfare has become a vital area in modern geopolitical battles because language functions as both a combat tool and a defensive mechanism. The research investigates NATO's development of epistemic authority in counter-disinformation discourse through Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) analysis. The study analyzes NATO's "De-bunking Russian disinformation on NATO" webpage to identify linguistic methods that affect thematic structure and ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions. The thematic analysis showed NATO stands as a central theme throughout multiple clauses, which confirms its essential role in the text. The research used strategic deployment of Marked Themes to create historical frameworks through temporal markers and to perform acknowledge-then-refute moves through concessive markers and to emphasize evaluation through manner markers. The research findings demonstrate how SFL applies to counter-disinformation discourse while showing thematic analysis effectiveness and revealing how integrated metafunctional analysis reveals collaborative meaning creation processes. The research study shows how NATO uses four main strategies, which include empirical evidence, confident statements, systematic counterarguments, and strategic thematic emphasis. The thematic progression followed three patterns, which included maintaining constant theme focus and linear argument development, and derived progression for maintaining textual coherence. The research demonstrates that grammatical selection methods establish epistemic authority through consistent patterns that appear throughout different metafunctional layers. The research establishes a complete framework that enables researchers to conduct future counter-disinformation studies in various institutional settings

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
