Description morpho-syntaxique du nââ numèè (langue de l'extrême-Sud, Nouvelle-Calédonie)
No full textCette thèse porte sur la description morpho-syntaxique du nââ numèè, langue de l’extrême-Sud de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, parlée par moins de 1 000 locuteurs dans les tribus de Touaourou et de Goro dans la commune de Yaté et de l’île Ouen dans la commune du Mont-Dore.Dans la première partie, l’auteur aborde les faits sociaux qui ont fait de la région du Grand Sud l’une des plus impactés par les guerres traditionnelles, la colonisation, l’évangélisation, la construction du barrage de Yaté et plus récemment, l’exploitation minière.Dans la deuxième partie, l’auteur procède à l’identification des phonèmes de la langue. Ensuite, il effectue une comparaison entre le système consonantique, vocalique et tonal ainsi établi et celui réalisé par Rivierre dans les années 70. Cette analyse d’écart lui permet de mettre en exergue les évolutions phonologiques subies par la langue en presque quarante ans. Pour définir les différents morphèmes de la langue, l’auteur utilise la méthode traditionnelle dite « distributionnelle ». Il propose ensuite une catégorisation des lexèmes.Dans la troisième partie, l’auteur traite des procédés morphologiques utilisaient en dérivation et en composition.Dans la quatrième partie consacrée à la syntaxe, l’auteur expose le syntagme nominal avec les différents modes et types de détermination. Cette partie comprend également un exposé des substituts du nom, des déictiques et du système numéral. Puis, l’auteur propose une description du syntagme verbal avec en point d’orgue, l’analyse des marqueurs aspecto-temporels et les constructions sérielles. Dans la partie dédiée aux circonstants, l’auteur s’intéresse au système d’orientation développé et les différents cadres référentiels utilisaient (absolus et relatifs).Dans la dernière partie, l’auteur expose les différents types d’énoncés (simples, complexes et marqués).This thesis deals with the morpho-syntactic description of Nââ Numèè, a language of the far south of New Caledonia, spoken by fewer than 1,000 speakers in the tribes of Touaourou and Goro in the town of Yate and the isle Ouen in the town of Mont-Dore.In the first part, the author explains the social facts which led to the great southern region being one of the most affected by traditional wars, colonization, evangelization, the construction of the dam at Yate and more recently, mining.In the second part, the author will identify the phonemes of the language. Then a comparison will be made between the consonant, vowel and tonal system thus established and made by Rivierre in the 1970s. This gap analysis allows the author to highlight the phonological changes in the language over almost forty years. The author then uses the traditional "distributional" method to define the different morphemes of language before proposing a categorization of lexemes.In the third part, the author deals with morphological processes used in derivation and in composition. In this chapter, it is interesting to see the increased use of verbal classifiers.In the fourth section dealing with syntax, the author offers a description of the nominal phrase with the modes and types of determination. This part also includes a presentation of the nominal substitutes, deictic and numeral systems. Then, the author describes the verbal phrase with special focus on the analysis of the aspect and temporal markers and serial verbs. In the part dedicated to the circonstants, the author focuses on the orientation system developed and the various repositories spaces used (absolute and relative).In the last part, the author exposes the different types of clauses (simple, complex and marked)
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
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

Teaching of the Kanak languages in New Caledonia
No full textAfter describing the socio-linguistic upheavals that occurred in New Caledonia during the Colonial period, this article discusses the current precarious balance between the Kanak and French languages, especially in school. Like most of the world’s “minor” languages, the Kanak languages are under threat, particularly from the dominant monolingual ideology and despite the legislative advances made possible by the Nouméa Accords, and despite scientific results that confirm the positive effects of bilingualism at an early age.Après un rappel des bouleversements sociolinguistiques survenus en Nouvelle-Calédonie durant la période coloniale, cet article évoque l’équilibre précaire contemporain entre les langues kanak et le français, en particulier en contexte scolaire. Comme l’ensemble des « petites » langues dans le monde, les langues kanak sont menacées, en particulier sous l’effet de l’idéologie monolingue dominante, malgré les avancées statutaires offertes par l’accord de Nouméa et les données scientifiques qui confirment les effets positifs du bilinguisme précoce
