Over the five decades since its beginnings, Chinese Interpreting Studies (CIS) has evolved into a dynamic field of academic enquiry with more than 3,500 scholars and 4,200 publications. Using quantitative and qualitative analysis, this scientometric study delves deep into CIS citation data to examine some of the noteworthy trends and patterns of behavior in the field: how can the field’s progress be quantified by means of citation analysis? Do its authors tend repeatedly to cite ‘classic’ papers or are they more drawn to their colleagues’ latest research? What different effects does the choice of empirical vs. theoretical research have on the use of citations in the various research brackets? The findings show that the field is steadily moving forward with new papers continuously being cited, although a number of influential papers stand out, having received a stream of citations in all the years examined. CIS scholars also have a tendency to cite much older English than Chinese publications across all document types, and empirical research has the greatest influence on the citation behavior of doctoral scholars, while theoretical studies have the largest impact on that of article authors. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the merits of blending quantitative and qualitative analyses to uncover hidden trends.

Qualitative Analyses

Retranslations of the Qur’an constitute an intriguing site of research with particular premises governing their production, dissemination and/or reception in Turkey. Its inherently religion-oriented context is accompanied by discussions on the sacred status of the source text, arguments on its untranslatability, translatorial human agency vis-à-vis the Holy creator, acknowledged Arabicity of the source text, etc. In this regard, each new translation of the Qur’an in Turkish is released with a motivation to justify its necessity amid abundant retranslations available in the target repertoire. Various approaches towards the conceptualization and instrumentalization of these Qur’anic translations create a meta-narrative on its own right. This study aims at exploring this particular discourse on the retranslations of the Qur’an with a bi-faceted study design composed of quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative analysis focuses on the numeric changes of Qur’anic retranslations in respective decades, whereas the qualitative analysis concentrates on the statements of the translatorial agents on the motives behind their translational production. By shedding light on the discursive narrative postulated upon these retranslations, it is claimed that social, political, cultural and financial concerns have prevailingly governed the reproductions of this canonical work in Turkey. Keywords: Qur’an translation, religious-text translation, retranslation, discourse analysis.

Data Context

The construction industry is facing a data tsunami, while emerging information technologies (IT) show great potential for the effective processing of these data or information. However, a comprehensive review for technological change, the resulting process, and organizational changes in the Big Data context, especially from the angle of whole lifecycle of construction project, is lacking. To fill the void, related works published in the databases of Web of Science, Science Direct, and American Society of Civil Engineers library are systematically reviewed. The general trend in emerging IT application in terms of construction project management (CPM) phases, technology and application, and research topics are revealed. Following this analysis, the particularized proposals in relation to each of the main topics within CPM is discussed. Furthermore, according to the advances and limitations of the current literature, corresponding future agendas such as the implementation of comprehensive data-driven CPM scenario are proposed to bridge the gaps between theoretical research and practical demands.

Annotation Purpose. Determination of the influence of parameters and modes of operation of the dosing and scattering device on the speed characteristics of the movement of grain moth eggs infected with trichogramma. Methods. Theoretical studies of the process of particle motion of the test material by the dosing and scattering device were performed using the basic laws of classical theoretical mechanics. Results. On the basis of the analysis of means for settlement of a trichogram the design of the dosing and scattering device of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for settlement of a trichogram is defined. According to the results of theoretical studies, it was concluded that in order to achieve high velocity characteristics of the trichogram movement, the length of the diffuser-deflector deflector, the radius of curvature of the deflector and the angle of the deflector sector must have parameters at which the trichogram will be minimally reduced. The material from which the dosing and dispensing device is made must have the lowest possible coefficient of friction. Conclusions 1. According to the results of theoretical research it is established that with increasing: the curvature of the deflector arc from 0.03 m to 0.09 m and the angle of the deflector sector 0° to 90°, the speed of the trichogram varies from 5 m/s to 3.5 m/s. 2. To increase the width of the capture when performing the technological operation of settling the trichogram, the angle of the deflector sector should be in the range of 45–90°. 3. When changing the coefficient of friction from 0.2 to 0.9, the velocity of the particle decreases from 4.61 m/s to 3.5 m/s. With an increase in the coefficient of friction in 2 times the speed decreases by 8%.

Experimental And Theoretical Studies

As a result of experimental and theoretical studies, the patterns of behavior of rocks in a condition close to destructive are the focal nature of the preparation of macrocracking, which allowed us to include the mesocrack structure of the material, which is the main element in the preparation of macrocracking. Differences in this new approach to mathematical modeling will let adequately describe dissipative mesocrack structures of various hierarchical levels of geodesy, predict dynamic changes, structures and mechanical properties of both rock samples and massif, which also lead to resource-intensive experimental studies. In this paper, with usage of the methods of cluster, factor, and statistical analysis, we set the task of processing the data of experimental studies of the laws of deformation and preparing macro-fracture of rock samples by various methods, including acoustic and deformation observations.

National Corpus

In research on L2 English, recent corpus-based studies indicate that some non-standard forms are shared by indigenized (ESL) and foreign (EFL) varieties of English, which challenges the idea of a clear dichotomy between innovation and error. We present a data-driven large-scale method to detect innovations, test it on verb + preposition structures (including phrasal verbs) and adjective + preposition structures, and describe similarities and differences between EFL and ESL. We use a dependency-parsed version of the International Corpus of Learner English to automatically extract potential innovations, defined as patterns of overuse compared to the British National Corpus as reference corpus. We measure overuse by means of collocation measures like O/E or T-score, and compare our results with similar results for ESL. In both quantitative and qualitative analyses, we detect similarities between the two varieties (e.g. discuss about) and dissimilarities (e.g. accuse for, only distinctive for EFL). We report more verb/adjective + preposition combinations than previous studies and discuss the roles of analogy and transfer.

ABSTRACTA complete course of psychotherapy provided extensive information about natural speech patterns of a male psychiatrist and a female patient. Contrary to assertions of the deferential function of tag questions, the patient's use of this form increased as she gained in self-confidence and improved her psychological adjustment. Qualitative analysis of the type, antecedents, and consequences of tag questions in sessions at the beginning and end of the therapy shows how the patient's use of the form reflects her growing independence. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of verbal interaction offer complementary benefits, and a two-stage research method is advocated.
