Имплицитные способы выражения оценки и авторского начала в медиатекстах о культуре

Our research focuses on identifying implicit ways of expressing evaluation and identifying the role of the author in media texts about culture. In order to analyze the category of evaluation we took Russian-language and German-language articles, which have a common newsworthy occurrence: the 130th anniversary of the birth of Marina Tsvetaeva. In the course of the study the publications were analyzed in terms of the presence of implicit evaluations and the linguistic means by which they are carried out. As a result of the study, it turned out that the evaluation has a predominantly positive character on the part of both Russian and German-speaking publications. The implicit evaluation of the Russian-language media texts was expressed at the level of grammar, while the German-language media texts used metaphors and epithets. We also analyzed publications for the presence of the author in the media text according to two parameters proposed by T. V. Shmeleva: author identification and the degree of media text complexity.

Mariánské poutní místo Sepekov a prameny k zázračným událostem a jeho historii

The subject of this paper is an analysis of manuscript and printed sources on the pilgrimage site of Sepekov (Písek district). These comprise texts written between the 1730s and the 1780s. Thematically, these are mostly books of miracles, which were intended to record miraculous events in writing and (in the case of printed sources) to spread awareness of the existence and importance of the pilgrimage site; however, they also contain information on the history of Marian devotion in Sepekov. Most of these works are anonymous; nevertheless, since the books of miracles were mostly written by parish priests, the identification of the likely authors is based on the analysis of the staffing of the church administration in Sepekov by the Strahov Premonstratensians. An interesting aspect is the intermingling of the works of the Premonstratensians and the local layman, teacher and sacristan František Strejček.

Культуролог берется за кушетку: психоанализ между популистской риторикой и рабочей методологией

The text focuses on one of the most recent works to date by German cultural studies researcher Jacob Johanssen of London’s St. Mary’s University, Fantasy, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere: Male Bodies of Dis/Inhibition. Johanssen’s work focuses on four online misogynous communities, each of which the author brings to bear on his own interpretation of the term “(dis)inhibition.” The book is the first major survey study of the manosphere done in a psychoanalytic vein, by which the author means a method to capture the contradictions of the psyche. The author of the paper tries to show what can happen to psychoanalysis when it is used by an “outsider” with no analytic or clinical background. Balancing between a working methodology and populist claims is one of the most important features of Johanssen’s work. It allows for the identification and examination of various cognitive distortions born out of the attempt to compensate for methodological lacunae. It is not so much the monograph itself that should open up before the reader’s eyes, but rather the points of contact between Johanssen’s discourse and his subject, which is ethically ambiguous, often highly “toxic,” and directly raises the question, “What are you really like?” The relationship between theoretical framework and empiricism, the boundaries of authorial identity, and the pressure of ethical conflicts on the authorial self are a few of the issues addressed in the text.

Language Variety Prediction using Word Embeddings and Machine Leaning Algorithms

Abstract: Author Profiling is a technique of predicting demographic characteristics like gender, age, location, nativity language, educational background etc., of an author by analysing their written texts. Author profiling is used in several text processing applications like forensics analysis, marketing, security. The author profiling techniques identify the stylistic differences among the author writing styles to identify the demographics of authors. Researchers experimented with various stylistic features like lexical features, content-based features, syntactic features, semantic features, domain specific features, structural features, readability features etc., to identify the stylistic differences among different author’s texts. The dataset plays an important role to analyse the stylistic differences of authors. PAN is one competition organizes different types of tasks in every year to encourage the participants around the globe for providing solutions to different types of text classification problems like plagiarism detection, authorship attribution, authorship verification, authorship profiling, celebrity profiling, style change detection, fake news spreaders detection, hate speech spreaders detection etc. The author profiling task was introduced in 2013 by the organizers of PAN competition. The organizers carefully gather the datasets and make available to the researchers for providing solutions to the problems. Every year the organizers conduct competitions on different sub-tasks of author profiling and provides datasets in different languages and in different genres. In 2017 competition, PAN introduces a task of predicting the language variety of an author. They release the dataset in four languages. In this work, we proposed an approach for English language dataset of language variety prediction. The proposed approach used the word embeddings generated by the Word2Vec model and BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model. The word embeddings are used for generating the document vectors by combining the word embeddings of words those contain in documents. The document vectors are trained with two machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine and random forest. The Random Forest attained best accuracy of 96.87 for language variety prediction when experiment conducted with BERT embeddings

Formation and Development of Comfortable Information Environment of Science at the University: Impact of the Library

The main activities of the Scientific Library of Belarusian National Technical University (ВNTU) aimed at the formation and development of a comfortable information environment for the University’s academic activities are described, including: organizing of redundancyof content and relative limitation of volume in the presented documentary flow, organizing of assistance in creating documents and promoting them to the “intellectual market”. Among the concrete forms of activities there are selection of serial publications for reading and submission of articles; development of the journals published by BNTU; creation and maintenance of open access resources; advisory work on registration in various systems of identification ofauthor profiles; various bibliometric studies. The issue of the coincidence of the implementationof the principles of “open science” with the conditions for the formation of a comfortable information environment of science is touched upon.

AUTHORIAL IDENTITYAND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WRITING OF MICHAEL ONDAATJE: THEORETICAL ASPECTS

The present paper examines the main theoretical aspects of literary autobiography. To achieve this aim, the general context of modern biographical writing development was studied, and critical articles, reviews and researches, both Ukrainian and foreign, were analyzed. Additionally, in order to defi ne biography and autobiography, intersection points of autobiography and postmodernism, as well as the peculiarity of fact and fi ction interrelation in postmodern autobiographical and memoir literature have been revealed. The methodology of the article is based on exploring the aesthetic and literary component of biographical works, namely on studies by P. Holden, P. Lejeune and P. Ricoeur’s identity analysis of “Oneself as Another”. Moreover, due to the fact that it is very important to assess the writer’s identity in two ways – from the point of view of the Other and from the point of view of the person’s inner Self – and to provide an understanding of how the past life experience of writers aff ects their current worldview and literary works, the biographical method has been chosen. Since autobiographical writing and memoirs reproduce the process of author’s self-refl ection about himself/herself and others, the particular attention is focused on the concepts of identity and autobiographical memory of the author. Accordingly, life and narrative identity correlation of the author’s fi gure constitute a relevant issue for the analysis of autobiographies and memoirs. It is shown that the autobiography of Michael Ondaatje, a Sri Lankan-born Canadian writer, is connected with the principles of postmodern and postcolonial literature. Finally, referring to interviews with the writer and his works of fi ction, as well as taking into account critical studies of his literary works, it is concluded that his authorial identity combines the features of the dual postcolonial identity of a Canadian cosmopolitan writer who preserves the cultural memory of Sri Lanka. Key words: autobiographical writing, authorial identity, autobiographical memory, postmodernism, postcolonialism, Michael Ondaatje.

CONTEXTUALIZING THE CONCEPT OF EXILE AND THE OTHER: THE SEARCH FOR IDENTITY IN EDWARD W. SAID'S OUT OF PLACE

The autobiographical work, Out of Place, sheds light on the identity crisis by presenting sections from the author's life. The East and West conflict experienced by Edward W. Said is a crisis of cultural identity caused by the problem of not belonging as being ‘the other’. The fundamental differences in the perspective of the two communities on life determine the extent of this conflict. This identity crisis of being ‘the other’, which has deepened the sense of rootlessness and uncertainty in cultural memory, prompted Edward W. Said to write his autobiography. Said, in his work, successfully presented the crisis of identity and the sense of (un)belonging that he aroused because of both the effect of the displacement he experienced due to the conditions of the period and the effect of living in Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt as an Arab-Christian American citizen with a British name and living in America as an Arab since his childhood. The subject of this study is the identity crisis that Edward W. Said experienced as a result of his birth in Arab lands as a child of a Christian family and then leaving his country and immigrating to the West due to the political conditions of the period and so that of his becoming ‘the other’ in wherever he stayed. It is the main purpose of this study to determine whether Said's exile life and his identity problem as being ‘the other’ influenced the author's personality and work; if any, what kind of effect it has. The author's identity problem of being the other and his perspective against this problem will be examined by doing context analysis with direct quotations from the work. Furthermore, in this study, autobiographical work of Said, who is stuck between the “clash of civilizations” and seeking an answer to the question "who am I?”, named Out of Place (Yersiz Yurtsuz) will be analyzed by using the positivist method focusing on the concept of immigration, exile and othering. In this method, it is aimed to explore the relationship between life and work of the writer, considering that the literary work is a product created depending on the life story of the author himself.

Writing to make a difference: Discursive analysis of writer identity in research articles on management

Our purpose in this research is to quantitatively analyse how the communication of managerial knowledge is realised in research articles written by experienced writers for publication and those produced by graduate students as a course grade requirement. Specifically, we look at the ways these writers construct their authorial identities (textually conveyed in ‘voice’). To do so, we combine Hyland’s (2008) interactional model of voice with the Author’s (xxxx) conceptualisation of ‘writer identity.’
 The study results reveal important differences with regard to the expression of interaction in written discourse, with novices employing more interpersonal features to involve readers and experienced authors making linguistic choices to establish authority in their texts. We show that the use of interpersonal metadiscourse renders academic texts more accessible, reader engaging and interesting. This enables us to work towards the development of more effective writing instruction which is particularly relevant for English for Academic Purposes pedagogy.

Moving across a genre continuum: Pedagogical strategies for integrating online genres in the language classroom

Drawing on a case study investigating the design and implementation of an ESP course for English majors in a Hong Kong university, this article discusses how the integration of online genres in a language classroom can contribute to a greater understanding of specialized genres and enable learners’ capacity to write across (Prior & Smith, 2020) semiotic modes and genre conventions. Data was collected from instructional materials, coursework and interviews of seven participants enrolled in the course that involves a process-oriented, genre-based (Hafner & Ho, 2020; Hafner & Miller, 2019) approach. Findings demonstrate that recursive contrastive analysis of online and offline genres can enable a more comprehensive and critical genre awareness that involves authenticity, multimodality, and interdiscursivity. Applying a material lens to this comparative analysis also enabled learners to discover how the design of platforms and their sociotechnical structures provide affordances and constraints that shape genre conventions and features. By drawing on learner knowledge of online genres familiar to them, these pedagogical strategies were able to bridge the out-of-school literacies and identities of learners with the disciplinary literacies and authorial identities that ESP seeks to develop. Recognizing the value of integrating diverse genres in an ESP course in ways that erode boundaries and highlight their connectedness, this paper proposes the notion of a genre continuum where rhetorical strategies and social purposes are shared across diverse genres using different modes and media. By facilitating a genre awareness that recognizes the fluid and deictic nature of genres, genre-based pedagogy can not only demonstrate synergies between online and offline genres, but also enable the acquisition of specialized genres through an awareness of the structures and features of non-specialized genres.

Un poema inédito de Joan Sist en honor de Blanca de Sicilia

This article introduces and edits a previously unpublished poem by Joan Sist –a priest from València– copied in a 16th-century manuscript by the Majorcan humanist Joan Binimelis. The extant text is incomplete and rather corrupted, but it has great interest from the point of view of literary history for several reasons: firstly, it is the only witness to Sist's literary activity, which was known despite the fact that no piece seemed to have survived. Secondly, it is the first composition dedicated to Blanca, queen consort of Sicily and later queen of Navarre. The author's identification and the rubric allows me to propose a specific event as the ocasion that originated this song: the royal entry into the city of València of the monarch Martí I of Aragon, queen Maria de Luna and their new daughter-in-law, Blanca of Navarre, on 30 th March 1402. For this evento, the first public presentation of the queen of Sicily, second wife of Martí el Jove, Joan Sist composed a conventional song of praise, borrowing from the song also intended for the queen of Sicily, probably her predecessor on the trone Maria, by Andreu Febrer.

A Review of the Literature on International Joint Ventures: A Bibliometric Study for the Period 1975-2019

Abstract Extensive literature on the subject of International Joint Ventures (IJVs) has developed during the last few decades. This work aims at identifying the main trends in this literature using a bibliometric analysis. The analysis of 507 studies published between 1975 and 2019 has allowed for the identification of key authors and journals and has revealed that the literature is focused on topics related to performance and success factors, knowledge acquisition and management, control and developing economies such as China. Thus, future research can focus on topics that have been neglected such as corporate social responsibility, legitimacy and absorptive capacity, and the study of countries and regions relatively neglected.

A Survey on Authorship Analysis Tasks and Techniques

Abstract Authorship Analysis (AA) is a natural language processing field that examines the previous works of writers to identify the author of a text based on its features. Studies in authorship analysis include authorship identification, authorship profiling, and authorship verification. Due to its relevance, to many applications in this field attention has been paid. It is widely used in the attribution of historical literature. Other applications include legal linguistics, criminal law, forensic investigations, and computer forensics. This paper aims to provide an overview of the work done and the techniques applied in the authorship analysis domain. The examination of recent developments in this field is the principal focus. Many different criteria can be used to define a writer’s style. This paper investigates stylometric features in different author-related tasks, including lexical, syntactic, semantic, structural, and content-specific ones. A lot of classification methods have been applied to authorship analysis tasks. We examine many research studies that use different machine learning and deep learning techniques. As a means of pointing the direction for future studies, we present the most relevant methods recently proposed. The reviewed studies include documents of different types and different languages. In summary, due to the fact that each natural language has its own set of features, there is no standard technique generically applicable for solving the AA problem.

Patterns and functions of I in academic writing: From a local grammar approach

This paper describes the co-selection of patterns and functions of the authorial I in soft science articles under the analytical framework of local grammar. Based on the taxonomy of Tang & John (1999), we generalized four functional categories in terms of the writer roles enacted by I: i.e. I as architect, I as data analyser, I as recounter of research process, and I as opinion holder/originator. We then identified the frequent semantic-functional patterns and lexico-grammatical patterns of I under each category of function. In so doing, we explored the connections among patterns and collocations of I and functions that I is used for. It is hoped that this paper would help novice soft science writers to gain a better understanding about how to use the authorial I more appropriately to construct authorial identity in academic writing.

영작문 평가에 관한 원어민과 비원어민 교수 비교연구

Objectives This study investigated the similarities and differences in assessing an academic term-paper written by L2 writer between native English-speaking (NES) and Korean professors. It further explored the similarities and differences between NES and Korean evaluators on their perceptions of L2 writer identities. Methods 38 NES and 43 Korean professors rated the term-paper written by a graduate student majoring in applied linguistics according to holistic and analytical scoring methods. The analytical scoring, in particular, included four language areas, such as grammar, vocabulary, content, and organization. A questionnaire was administered to the two groups on their perceptions of author identity. The results from the two groups were compared using the independent t-test, and follow-up interviews were conducted with four NES and four Korean professors to explore the factors of the survey results. Results There was no difference in overall scoring between the two groups. Still, in analytical scoring, the NES professors were strict in organization and content, whereas the Korean professors were strict in grammar. Regarding their perceptions of author identity and their influence on evaluation, NES professors showed more positive attitudes. Concerning the clues of their perceptions, the NES professors' judgment was based on the structure and method of thesis writing. In contrast, the Korean professors recognized the author's identity based on his English proficiency and the breadth of content knowledge. Conclusions The results show that the professors' ratings were influenced by the composition training they previously experienced and their language background. Thus, it suggests that content professors create a rubric suitable for individual courses for appropriate evaluation and share it with their students. It also shows the importance of training students to construct an effective author identity in academic writing.

Topic-sensitive expert finding based solely on heterogeneous academic networks

Identifying experts in a specific research field is an essential and practical task in academia and industry. Although some efforts have been attempted for expert finding, they rely on abundant text mining to reveal the target research topic accurately. Furthermore, it is time-consuming to collect and process these text materials for each candidate, and it is difficult to prepare a precise description for a topic that can cover all sub-topics. To this end, in this study, we develop a new expert finding model called TOpic-Sensitive representative Author identification (TOSA), to find representative authors in a specific research topic from a heterogeneous topic-insensitive academic network involving various topics, with a few well-known experts collected previously who are professional in the target topic. Specifically, we first learn the high-order relationships about authors in the heterogeneous academic network, which contain enough topic-related information. Next, an embedding space is found, where the collected experts are close to each other; in other words, the area they gather indicates the features about the collected authoritative experts. Finally, a prototype is calculated based on the collected experts in the embedding space, and we can rank other unlabeled authors by measuring the closeness between them and the prototype. Along this line, in addition to the collected experts in advance, more authoritative experts in the target topic will be identified. Extensive experiments on DBLP and ACM datasets demonstrate that the proposed TOSA model can identify experts who are professional in the query topic directly from a heterogeneous topic-insensitive academic network without text data processing, and its performance is significantly superior to the baseline models.
