Nessa direção, o estudo coloca em discussão o que é ser autor a partir das novas condições de produção da escrita na rede digital, partindo da noção discursiva de autoria formulada por Orlandi (2007), através de um deslocamento do conceito de função-autor de Foucault. Nessa abordagem, a autoria indígena é tratada enquanto gesto de interpretação do sujeito na produção de textos na web, considerando a rede como espaço de dizer no qual o sujeito e os sentidos são constituídos numa relação indissociável entre língua e sua exterioridade constitutiva. A partir do processo de textualização, o trabalho discute a autoria como parte de um processo de resistência indígena na rede. O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender a constituição do sujeito indígena na rede digital e a emergência de uma posição autoral de resistência nas circunstâncias determinadas de um blog pessoal, sabendo que a prática da escrita de textos no computador transforma efetivamente a relação do autor com sua escrita. A pesquisa tem como enfoque teórico a Análise de Discurso e o corpus é formado por diferentes materiais coletados em quatro blogs pessoais de autores indígenas / Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of authorship in the network, from the indigenous writing produced in the electronic space of personal blogs, including the advancement of technology, particularly the internet, enables Indians occupying a unique space to say and be subject language, circulating senses muted and / or banned throughout history in / by traditional media. In this sense, the study calls into question what is being an author from the new conditions of production of writing in the digital network, starting from the discursive notion of authorship formulated by Orlandi (2007), through a shift from the concept of role-authored Foucault. From this approach, the indigenous authorship is treated as a gesture of interpretation of the subject in the production of texts on the web, considering the network as a space in which to say the subject and the senses are made an inseparable relationship between language and its external constitutive. As of the writing process, the work argues the authorship as part of a process of aboriginal resistance in the net. The aim of the research is to understand the constitution of the aboriginal citizen in the digital net and the emergency of an authorial position of resistance in the certain circumstances of one blog personal, knowing that the practice of the writing of texts in the computer effectively changes the relation of the author with its writing. The research focuses on theoretical discourse analysis and the corpus is made up of different materials collected in four personal blogs of indigenous authors / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

Nesta dissertação, nós propusemos um método para atribuição de autoria que é de cem a mil vezes mais rápido que o estado da arte. Nós também obtivemos uma acurácia 65\% na classificação de 50 autores. O método proposto se baseia numa representação de caracteristicas escalável utilizando os padrões das mensagens dos micro-blogs, e também nos utilizamos de um classificador de padrões customizado para lidar com grandes quantidades de dados e alta dimensionalidade. Por fim, nós discutimos a redução do espaço de busca na análise de centenas de suspeitos online e milões de micro mensagens online, o que torna essa abordagem valiosa para forense digital e aplicação das leis / Abstract: With the ever-growing use of social media, authorship attribution plays an important role in avoiding cybercrime, and helping the analysis of online trails left behind by cyber pranks, stalkers, bullies, identity thieves and alike. In this dissertation, we propose a method for authorship attribution in micro blogs with efficiency one hundred to a thousand times faster than state-of-the-art counterparts. We also achieved a accuracy of 65% when classifying texts from 50 authors. The method relies on a powerful and scalable feature representation approach taking advantage of user patterns on micro-blog messages, and also on a custom-tailored pattern classifier adapted to deal with big data and high-dimensional data. Finally, we discuss search space reduction when analysing hundreds of online suspects and millions of online micro messages, which makes this approach invaluable for digital forensics and law enforcement / Mestrado / Ciência da Computação / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

This paper consists in the analysis of music lyrics in a discursive gender scope, investigating the composition of women image in songs by Rita Lee. The issue behind this paper is related to the fact that some educational institutions have still priviledged the textual typology to the detriment of the teaching of discursive genre and also due to the fact that the discursive text has been taught out of context. Another aspect that also led to this research is the fact that many Brazilian Popular Music composers still depict the profile of the Brazilian woman as someone inferior, submissive, intangible or simply as an object of the mans desire. The aim of this research is to analyse, according to predetermined criteria, this peculiar aspect in the composers work within her particular feminine point of view, showing in which way the feminine universe is depicted in the linguistic-discursive concreteness of her songs. Seven of the artists songs have been analysed based on the following Mikhail Bakhtins followers and theoretical referentials: concrete statement, discursive genres and dialogism, intertextuality and interdiscursivity, ideology, author and authorship. The results confirm that, in the artists point of view, the feminine universe is represented by autonomous, intelligent, strong and independent women. / Este trabalho consiste na análise de letras de música enquanto gênero discursivo e investiga a constituição da imagem da mulher nas canções de Rita Lee. O problema que motivou esta dissertação está relacionado ao fato de algumas instituições de ensino ainda privilegiarem a tipologia textual em detrimento do ensino dos gêneros discursivos e também ao fato de se ensinar o texto descritivo isolado de um contexto. Outro aspecto que também motivou esta pesquisa é o fato de muitos compositores da Música Popular Brasileira ainda abordarem o perfil da mulher como um ser inferior, submisso, inatingível ou simplesmente como um objeto de desejo do homem. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar, de acordo com critérios preestabelecidos, esse aspecto peculiar na obra da compositora sob seu ponto de vista feminino, apresentando o modo pelo qual o universo da mulher é retratado na materialidade linguístico-discursiva de suas canções. Foram analisadas sete canções da autora com base nos seguintes referenciais teóricos de Michail Bakhtin e de seu Círculo: enunciado concreto, gêneros discursivos e dialogismo, intertextualidade e interdiscursividade, ideologia e autor e autoria. Os resultados confirmam que, na visão da autora, o universo feminino é representado por mulheres autônomas, inteligentes, fortes e independentes.

This thesis focuses on present prehension of publicistic genre of film review by its authors and seeks for its differences from original theoretical definitions including the reasoning and question on its future change. Derivation of our research is confirmation of hypothesis which was conclusion of previous bachelor thesis and it speaks of transformational tendency of film reviews in time. Combination of quantitative and qualitative technique gathering data, therefore questionnaire survey with present-day film reviewers and semi-structured interviews with well-known figures, aims to the most perfect capturing of their present output, equipment for it and values, but also theirs own authorship opinions about points of importance within writing about movies and how it is changing in time and eventually where it is heading.

Co-authorship networks are a particular sort of social networks representing authors collaborating on joint publications. Such networks are studied within the fields of bibliometrics and scientometrics. While it is possible to analyze co-authorship networks in their entirety, certain analytical tasks would benefit from representing such networks as dynamic graphs, which incorporate a temporal dimension and capture structural transformations unfolding over time. The importance of dynamic graphs has emerged in recent years, in graph theory at large as well as within application domains such as social sciences, for instance.Research regarding dynamic graphs has been identified as one of the major challenges within network theory since they are particularly useful for describing real-world systems.This thesis project revolves around dynamic co-authorship network analysis algorithms, which aim to extract various temporal aspects regarding author collaborations.It is the result of a proposal by the ISOVIS group at Linnaeus University, which is active within the fields of exploratory data analysis and information visualization, including the problem of visual analysis of scientific publication data. The algorithms developed in this project extract analytical data such as (1) joint publications among pairs of authors, (2) temporal trends on connected components (groups of authors) along with network centrality measurements, and (3) major events regarding emergence, mergers, and splits of connected components over time. Together with domain experts, the analysis regarding usability, performance, and scalability of the algorithms took place as part of the evaluation process to assure that the result met the needs which instigated this thesis project. The application of the algorithms on real data sets provided by the ISOVIS group was useful concerning the evaluation of the usability domain. In contrast, customized synthetic data sets was an excellent tool for evaluating performance and scalability.

Traditionally, in our globally diverse and intertwined society, study abroad has served as a valuable, enriching, and life-changing aspect of college and university offerings and opportunities for students. Today, the lives of post-study abroad students will be defined by the ways they make sense of unexpected major events surrounding the history-changing COVID-19 pandemic and the contemporary protests against racism and social injustice. A large body of research exists on study abroad, culture shock, self-authorship, provocative moments, cross-cultural reentry, and reverse culture shock. A lack of research exists on what ways post-study abroad U.S. students make meaning of their experiences in emerging self-authorship, and research on post-study abroad students and the COVID-19 pandemic is rare. The overarching purpose of this exploratory inquiry was to describe in what ways, if any, that the post-study abroad experience facilitates the development of emerging self-authorship of U.S. college students. Self-authorship provided the theoretical framework for this inquiry. Clarke and Braun’s reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the interviews and journals of two U.S. post-study abroad college students. The findings revealed that the post-study abroad experience facilitated the development of emerging self-authorship of U.S. college students through the themes of pain, partnerships, and perspective, with grief layered among each of these themes. The students eventually accepted their realities of post-study abroad, found meaning, and showed signs of nudging ahead in emerging self-authorship. The implications from this inquiry provided ways for stakeholders to support students through their post-study abroad experiences and support emerging self-authorship.

Collaborative writing technologies such as Google Docs is believed to be a helpful tool in supporting the development of constructivist learning environments. However, not much research has been done among special populations outside the United States. This dissertation examines how using google docs can enhance collaborative learning among non-native English-speaking students at a university in Oman. A total of 52 students participated in this study, where they completed a collaborative writing activity using Google Docs. This exploratory study yielded quantitative as well as qualitative data. Interviewees shared their experience of using Google Docs for the collaborative writing activity. The research shows that Google Docs promoted collaborative interactions among students, such as learning from each other and communicating with the teacher. Interestingly, the data indicate that students used alternate social media such as WhatsApp to communicate with their group mates regarding the collaborative writing activity. Overall, the results obtained here confirm that the Google Docs can be used to enhance collaborative learning among non-native English-speaking students.

Thesis (M.A. (English Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / The study explored essay writing errors of English First Additional Language (EFAL) FET rural learners. The aim of the study was to analyse essay writing errors of the EFAL FET learners in rural schools. EFAL Grade 11 learners together with their educators from 4 circuits in Mopani West District of Limpopo Province (LP), South Africa (SA), participated in the study. The learners’ 40 essays were analysed. Additionally, the learners and educators were interviewed and the data generated were analysed. A qualitative Content Analysis (CA) research method was used to collect data. The sample was made up of 3 instruments; an essay checklist for the 40 essays, EFAL learners’ group interviews that consisted of 4 equal groups made up of 10 learners per school, and interviews with 4 educators from each of the school represented. N – Vivo was used for data transcription, storage and analysis. Errors populated in the checklist were arranged into smaller units, identified, analysed, described and reported. Data obtained through semi-structured interviews with EFAL learners and educators were transcribed and analysed thematically. The analysis of the EFAL FET rural learners’ essay writing errors revealed weaknesses pertaining to choice of essay topics, proofreading, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
