The implicature of sarcastic memes in 9GAG
No full textThis study explores the implicature of sarcastic memes in 9gags. It is conducted using a descriptive qualitative method that belongs to the interpretivism paradigm which believes that reality is not always what is seen, but rather what is appear behind it. It seeks to give a deep understanding of the phenomena of internet sarcasm used in sarcastic memes. Based on the finding, the researchers found that not only the maker of the memes performed implicature but also the poster of the sarcastic memes themselves. Both the poster and the maker mostly used the flouting of relevance maxim in the sarcastic memes. While the kind of flouting rarely happened in the data was the flouting of quantity and manner. In the case of sarcasm, both the poster and the maker used all sub-types of sarcasm proposed by Camp (2012). The most common type of sarcastic memes was the lexical sarcasm. In contrast, the type of sarcasm rarely found was the ‘like-prefixed' sarcasm
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
Engaging Linguistics and Literature: Perspectives and Insights beyond the Curriculum
Full text linkThis year’s Foliter takes Engaging Linguistics and Literature: Perspectives and Insights beyond the Curriculum as its theme. Such an issue is widely discussed in the recent postmodern global world, where established concepts and grand theories of linguistics and literature are reinterpreted and, in turn, affects the curriculum design and evaluation in the area of English Language Teaching. This tendency may also trigger the progress of linguistics and literature paradigms, not just within the curriculum but also beyond. The conference thus seeks to address the issues on the perspectives and insights in the application of the concepts of linguistics and literature in relation to the curriculum development. Our eagerness to hold the conference is one of the Department’s concerns on the increasing interests and demands for the higher quality of ELT which takes current issues in linguistics and literature as its bases for innovation. This conference is, therefore, supposed to be a momentous academic forum which may raise significant endeavors to escalate the ELT advancement with regard to linguistics and literature approaches. We hope that everyone will find the ideas presented in the forum inspiring and that the papers compiled in the proceeding enlightening for the engagement of linguistics and literature perspectives in the development of ELT curriculum

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
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
