Mismatching in the Development of Words: Examples from “Mouthbreeder” and “Armpit” of Southern Min
No full text 一般而言，同源詞在方言間會呈現語音的規則對應關係。但是除了這種規律性的音變外，語言中也會有個別語詞因特殊原因而有不規則的變化。例如音字脫節的語詞，在欠缺語義規範或補充的情況下，詞素語義模糊，語音容易「走樣」，並導致語詞發生變化。 「吳郭魚」在臺灣閩南語有「南洋鯽仔」、「南文鯽仔」、「南民鯽仔」等說法，「胳肢窩」在臺灣閩南語有「胳下空」、「胳下豅」、「過耳空」等說法，說法紛歧的原因正在於詞素語義模糊，導致語詞發生變化。本文以之為例，考其本字，明其流變。It is well known that cognates correspond regularly among dialects. Yet irregularities exist. Especially when mismatching in sound-meaning correlation of a word occurs, unpredictable varieties would be created. In this paper, words for “Mouthbreeder” and “Armpit” of Southern Min are examined as examples of the mismatched varieties. The development of these words as well as some related issues are further discussed
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

No full textOn Guan-jian (關楗), Guan-yue (管籥) and Suo-chi (鎖匙): From the Perspective of Lexical History
No full text本文從詞彙史的角?，?明「關楗」、「管籥」與「鎖匙」具有詞彙發展的關係。文獻所?的「管」有些指橫木關，有些指關楗上再加的鎖，有些指開鎖的鑰匙。?物同名的現象，?明??物之間在形制上具有沿革的關係：物件形式變?，可是觀?上仍視它們為一物，因此用舊名?稱呼新的物件，因而產生指稱的重疊。解經家以「鎖」、「匙」註解「管」、「關」、「楗」、「籥」，這是因關、楗在形制上愈趨?巧後，形體發展得與鎖鏈及匙匕相近，因此產生詞彙的替代，改稱閉門裝置為「鎖」、「匙」，在詞彙上?下古今語重疊和取代的痕跡。This paper argues from the perspective of lexical history that guan-jian (關楗), guan-yue (管籥) and suo-chi (鎖匙) are related in terms of their lexical development. In early texts, guan (管) might signify a locking-bar, both the lock and the locking-bar, or the key that opens the lock. This phenomenon of multiple referents shows a special kind of lexical derivation in a set of words or word family that is closely related in form or usage. Given the relationship between them, it is quite understandable why one form’s name could be used to denote the other or vice versa. This usage leads to duplication. Many philologists define guan and jian or guan and yue, by using suo and chi. This is because as the objects that the terms guan and jian refer to were improved overtime, their appearance increasingly resembled suo and chi. Through lexical replacement, we can see how suo and chi came to connote the implements used for securing a door. This is a clear example of how words are replaced in the history
