Research in Malaysian sociolinguistics has seen much development pertaining to its concerns over language in its multilingual, multiracial, post-colonial community. The majority of existing literature however tends to lean towards traditional ideologies to explicate the language situation and linguistic patterns taking place within society. As influential as they are, there is a growing need for research to extend and move beyond traditional parameters so as to better explicate the roles and values of language in the increasingly mobile, transnational, diverse communities found in the city. This is certainly true in the historical city of George Town, Penang where exists an eclectic mix of heritage and urbanity – a contest for fluid and fixed notions of identity, culture, traditions, and language. One approach which has been used to contribute towards the study of linguistic patterns is Social Network Analysis. A notable application of analysis network structures is attributed to Milroy (1987), where the following has emerged: close-knit and dense networks are resistant to outside influences whereas loose-knit, weaker network links are embracing of change. This paper therefore aims to explain Social Network Analysis as a framework and method, how it has been applied in previous studies, and the potential it holds to analyse language in contemporary, urban communities as is found in cities like George Town, Penang.

The article presents an interview with Dr. Mario Luis Small about his works and contributions to social network analysis. The conversation revolves around four topics: first, the linkages between his research on urban communities and the current validity of the social capital approach. The second section discusses multiplexity in personal social networks as well as the shortcomings of a deductive approach to this subject. Third, the interview considers the effects of the contexts of interaction for the analysis of discussion networks. The final part of the interview provides recommendations regarding the interpretation of the information obtained from a name generator

This study aims to determine the pattern of a network collaboration between dengue hemorrhagic health surveillance personnel in the city of Semarang and to understand the flow of information deeply. The method of social network analysis / SNA (Social Network Analysis) on formal and informal communication networks between surveillance officers aims to produce sociometry and sociogram data so that the centrality of each actor in the network can be known. Interaction between Officers will be known through the analysis of the centrality of levels (degree), closeness (closeness), and intercession (betweenness). The approach used is descriptive quantitative. Data was collected using a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire, while the process of input and data analysis was carried out by looking at intact networks and ego networks carried out using UCINET. The results of the analysis show that officers dominate the centrality of the level and the intermediary with the position of Coordinator both City and District (Id. # 128, # 1, # 2, # 3). Collaboration based on working areas has a strong bond because 71% of the districts have a network density above 50%. While the value of closeness is dominated by surveillance members with id # 54, # 15, # 2, # 214, # 15 and # 10.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników badań , które skoncentrowane były na identyfikacja powiązań personalnych poprzez tzw. interlocking dyrektorski pomiędzy firmami uczestniczącymi w procesach przejęć w latach 2008-2014. Badaniami zrealizowanymi przy wykorzystaniu metody analizy sieci społecznych SNA (Social Network Analysis) objęto 525 spółek notowanych na GPW w Warszawie oraz NewConnect, które uczestniczyły w procesach akwizycji. W badaniach ważne było określenie poziomu usieciowienia poprzez interlocking dyrektorski pomiędzy firmami uczestniczącymi w omawianych transakcjach. Przyjmuje się, że jedną z podstawowych funkcji interlockingu jest redukcja niepewności i ograniczanie ryzyka poprzez dostęp do informacji dzięki połączeniu z radami innych firm. Przeprowadzone analizy wykazały, że poziom usieciowienia pomiędzy wszystkimi badanymi spółkami i osobami (członkami zarządów i rad nadzorczych) uczestniczącymi w transakcjach akwizycji w Polsce jest niski. Zidentyfikowane relacje miały charakter długotrwały i były widoczne zarówno przed transakcją, jak i po jej przeprowadzeniu.
