The impact of nominalisations on the reading process: A case-study using the Freiburg Legalese Reading Corpus
Full text linkThe author presents a study using eye-tracking-while-reading data from participants reading German jurisdictional texts. I am particularly interested in nominalisations. It can be shown that nominalisations are read significantly longer than other nouns and that this effect is quite strong. Furthermore, the results suggest that nouns are read faster in reformulated texts. In the reformulations, nominalisations were transformed into verbal structures. Reformulations did not lead to increased processing times of verbal constructions but reformulated texts were read faster overall. Where appropriate, results are compared to a previous study of Hansen et al. (2006) using the same texts but other methodology and statistical analysis
Os efeitos das alterações climáticas na nossa língua: uma análise estatística baseada em corpus sobre a migração da terminologia do campo da investigação climática para a linguagem geral
No full textDissertação de mestrado em LexicographyDie Migration von Terminologie aus Fachsprachen in die Allgemeinsprache ist einer der Gründe für die
Expansion unseres Lexikons. Diverse Studien haben sich bereits mit dem kommunikativen Aspekt der
Verwendung von fachsprachlichen Lexemen im medizinischen Bereich oder ihrer Verwendung in
Handbüchern oder Gebrauchsanweisungen befasst. Viele andere Termini finden ihren Weg in die
öffentliche Debatte und erscheinen in Zeitungsartikeln oder im Internet, weil fachliche Bereiche in den
Fokus des Interesses der breiten Öffentlichkeit rücken. Zu diesen Bereichen gehört der des
Klimawandels, dem in den letzten Jahren immer größere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird. Ziel dieser
Arbeit ist es, die Migration von Termini aus dem Bereich des Klimawandels in die Allgemeinsprache
anhand einer empirischen Studie zu untersuchen. Mit einer korpusbasierten statistischen Analyse soll
die Hypothese überprüft werden, dass der Anstieg des gesellschaftlichen Diskurses um den
Klimawandel zu einer parallelen Zunahme der verwendeten fachspezifischen Termini und damit zu ihrer
Migration in die Allgemeinsprache geführt hat. Der Analyse ist ein Kapitel vorangestellt, dass sich mit
dem theoretischen Rahmen dieser Arbeit befasst und auf Aspekte der Fachsprachenforschung sowie
der Geschichte der Klimatologie eingeht.A migração da terminologia do contexto das línguagens especializadas para a linguagem geral é uma
das razões para a expansão do nosso léxico. Vários estudos já abordaram o aspeto comunicativo da
utilização de termos especializados na área médica ou a sua utilização em manuais ou em instruções
de utilização. Existem, contudo, muitos termos de outros campos especializados que hoje em dia
podem ser encontrados em artigos de jornais ou na Internet que são dirigidos ao público comum. Um
deles é o campo das alterações climáticas, que tem recebido uma atenção crescente nos últimos anos.
O objetivo desta tese é investigar a migração de termos do campo das alterações climáticas para a
linguagem geral através de um estudo empírico. Uma análise estatística baseada em corpus será
utilizada para testar a hipótese de que o aumento do discurso social sobre as alterações climáticas
levou a um aumento paralelo do número de unidades lexicais especializadas utilizadas e, portanto, à
sua migração para a linguagem geral. A análise é precedida de um capítulo que trata do
enquadramento teórico deste trabalho, abordando aspetos da investigação linguística especializada e a
história da climatologia
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
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
