Abstract This paper presents a synchronic and diachronic computer corpus of Makarska littoral dialects. This corpus was created as part of the project to explore the ikavian neoštokavian dialects of the narrow coastal area in Croatian region of Dalmatia around the town of Makarska. The dialectological characteristics of the dialects studied are briefly presented first, followed by presentation of the digital system. The system is logically organized in first part as a corpus of literary texts created from 1729 to 1803 and digitally processed, and in the second part from the materials collected through dialectological questionnaires prepared and methodologically adapted as part of the creation of the Croatian Linguistic Atlas. Methods of collecting linguistic data, method of input into the digital form and methods and possibilities of data processing will be explained. Based on the input and search strategies within the system, the examples will prove the origin of the dialects of the Makarska littoral to be that of the ikavian neoštokavian dialect described in the dialectological literature. This computer-based principle of work is a novelty in Croatian dialectology which has not been digitally processed so far and offers a basis for future dialectological research. This platform can be used in order to shorten the time of data processing and to analyse them more systematically and more efficiently. So far, there has been no such digital repository for any Croatian speech. This project represents a thorough synchronic and diachronic study of one rounded language area.

CALL has been promoted for nearly 30 years essentially on the basis, not of fact, but of the myth, that it demonstrably produces positive language learning outcomes. In reality, there is no reliable evidence to support such claims. If the effectiveness of CALL is to move beyond the stage of myth to that of demonstrably “certified” fact, development in the field needs a clear theoretical base from which to operate. SLA theory can provide insights and help ensure that we are at least asking the right questions. Likewise, it has reliable research methodologies available to properly frame hypotheses and evaluate the results of CALL efforts. No less so, however, SLA theory very much needs the kind of “hard” language learning input which CALL can deliver. Collaboration in the design of CALL programmes offers a valuable means of eliciting linguistic data essential to the testing of SLA hypotheses. Even more importantly for SLA theory construction, the ability of computer-based programmes to unobtrusively track the behaviour of learners, offers a unique “window of observation” on the processes underlying observed performance. Despite much promise, and nearly three decades of efforts by CALL enthusiasts, effective exploitation of educational technology in language teaching remains to be achieved.

Gracias a la evolución de la lingüística computacional y su aplicación a diferentes disciplinas de las Humanidades Digitales, la estilometría ha recibido un notable impulso con la aparición de herramientas informáticas desarrolladas específicamente para el análisis estilométrico de corpus textuales, como Stylo R, la herramienta desarrollada por el Institute of Polish language, de la Polish Academy of Sciences, y el Institute of English Studies, de la Jagiellonian University. A través del paquete Stylo R analizaremos la obra narrativa de Eduardo Mendoza para comprobar, más allá de su funcionalidad de autoría, su eficacia para la clasificación tipológica y estilística de textos literarios, así como para presentar la correcta configuración de los valores de los elementos involucrados en el procesamiento de datos.Thanks to the evolution of computational linguistics and its application in various disciplines of Digital Humanities, stylometry has received considerable momentum with the advent of informatics tools specifically developed for stylometry analysis of textual corpora, such as Stylo, a tool developed by the Institute of Polish Language at the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Institute of English Studies at the Jagiellonian University. Using Stylo package, the narrative work developed by Eduardo Mendoza will be analysed to prove, beyond his authoring functionality, its efficacy on classifying the typology and stylistics of literary texts, as well as to present the right configuration of the involved elements’ values in data processing.

In recent years there has been growing interest in quantitative methods for analyzing linguistic data.  Advanced multifactorial statistical analyses, such as inferential trees and mixed-effects logistic regression models, have become more accessible for linguistic research as a result of the availability of an open source programming environment provided by the statistical software R. In the present paper, we introduce a novel toolkit, Language Variation Suite, a software program that offers a friendly environment for conducting quantitative analyses. We demonstrate how theory built on traditional monofactorial analysis can be extended to macro and micro multifactorial approaches allowing for a deeper understanding of language variation. The focus of the analysis is based on intervocalic /d/ deletion in Spanish from the Diachronic Study of the Speech of Caracas 1987 and 2004-2010. In contrast to traditional methodological approaches we have treated intervocalic /d/ as a continuous dependent variable according to the intensity ratio measurements obtained. Furthermore, we have integrated various syntactic, phonetic and sociolinguistic factors. Non-parametric and fixed-effects regression models revealed that overall age (younger speakers), sex (male speakers), phonetic context (low vowels), token frequency and morphosyntactic category (past participles) have a significant effect on the lenition of intervocalic /d/. In contrast, the mixed-effects model selected only phonetic context, frequency and category, showing that individual speaker variation is higher than group variation.

The LYONNAISE DES EAUX Company has been managing the sanitation amenities for the town of VALLAURIS GOLFE-JUAN (a summer population of 35.000) since 1974, with a three-fold target:firstly, to arrange for the collection and disposal of the sewage effluent under all circumstances, despite the influx of tourists and without causing any inconvenience to users,secondly,to safeguard the appearance and condition of the beaches during the summer months by canalizing the estuary flow from the valleys and by pumping the runoff water seawards,thirdly, to treat the sewage from the town in order to discharge into the Mediterranean sea a good quality effluent which will not pollute the natural envi ronment. The targets were reached by using the most modern techniques: Sewage collection was optimized by installing a computerized management system for the networks, with regular monitored inspections and a preventive cleaning out programme carried out by specialist organizations. The sewage water was treated in an underwater plant in the Port of GOLFE-JUAN. This plant, which is partially automated and invisible on the site, discharges to the sea water which conforms with the foreseen purity levels at an acceptable operating cost.

Over the last four decades, information technology (IT) has permeated almost every aspect of our lives. From its origins in the data processing (DP) departments of large organisations, where bureaucratic operations were automated on mainframe computers, IT has penetrated ever further into all kinds of organisational activity, largely due to the accessibility of the personal computer (PC) in the 1980s and the 1990s. Beyond that, IT is also involved in many aspects of our everyday lives, such as education, leisure and entertainment, now that the boundaries between traditional telecommunications technologies and computer-based systems effectively no longer exist. This permeation has meant that the range of people now closely involved with IT on a regular basis has expanded far beyond the white-coated experts in the early DP departments, with terms such as ‘the information society’ in common parlance. It is therefore hardly surprising that the discipline of information systems (IS) emerged and is now evolving to meet the challenge of analysis and design in this complex and dynamic social environment. Nor is it surprising that IS is moving on from its early emphasis on highly structured formal methods of analysis and design, designed to cope with the machine-like preoccupations of the data processing world, to a far softer, human-centred focus. There is clearly an agenda for improvement for IS; although the notions of success and failure may be problematic in themselves, we hear of IS ‘failures’ which make the evening news at depressingly regular intervals — Y2K, the UK air traffic control project at West Drayton, the recent Passport Agency fiasco, for example. More generally, a wide-ranging (14,000 organisations) survey in the UK carried out by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Department of Trade and Industry (OASIG, 1996) concerning the outcomes of IT investments makes worrying reading, reporting that:
