ABOUT HDU Croatian Phonographic Association (HDU) is a voluntary, non-partisan, non-profit, non-governmental organization which, in accordance with the law, promotes the interests of record labels - phonogram producers, as well as the interests of the Croatian record industry in general. Croatian Phonographic Association was established on 14 June 1995 and was originally founded as an association of individuals dealing with discography and related activities, since at that time this was the only form of association possible under the Law on Associations. Work and affirmation of HDU has manifested mainly in active participation in the implementation of Porin Awards, as well as in various other actions. The HDU is also active with its department for combating piracy that de-lists links from Google, removes pirated content from Web sites and participates in regional initiatives to close the portals that illegally distribute pirated content. Thanks to the successful work, HDU has become an official member of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) at the beginning of 2007. 2 Foreword Foreword Želimir BabogredacBabogredac, President HDU Branko Komljenović, Vice President HDU The digital era is omnipresent.

Panajiotis Asimopulos MULTIJEZIČNI MOZAIK U STIHOVIMA ĐORĐE
Holon, 2 (3):44-93, 2012., Zagreb Stručni rad UDK Primljeno: 13. 12. 2012. 81'373.45=163.41:78Balašević Prihvaćeno: 19. 12. 2012. Panajiotis Asimopulos* MULTIJEZIČNI MOZAIK U STIHOVIMA ĐORĐE BALAŠEVIĆA Sažetak Predmet ovog rada je analiziranje 1.200 leksičkih posuđenica s tvorbeno-semantičkog aspekta i sinkrona stanovišta koje se u velikoj učestalosti pojavljuju u neusporedivom nadahnuću kantautora Đorđe Balaševića. Ključnim ciljem smatra se etimološko definiranje i semantičko rasvjetljavanje stranih leksema koji vode do harmonične koegzistencije s autentičnim srpskim riječima i prema tome se u suvremenom srpskom ne tretiraju kao zasebne leksičko-stilske cjeline. Kriterijski podaci za klasifikaciju odrednica u skupinama usklađeni su sa njihovim tematskim raščlanjenjem. Ključne riječi: pjesme Đorđe Balaševića, popularna glazba, jezični kontakt, posuđenica, srpski jezik 1. Uvod1 1.1. Predmet i korpus istraživanja Osnovni predmet ovog rada jest podrijetlo i tumačenje leksičkih posuđenica u suvremenom srpskom jeziku, a koje u značajnoj mjeri u svojim stihovima veoma uspješno upotrebljava Đorđe Balašević. Bogati korpus za analizu predstavljalo je djelo samog umjetnika Dodir svile, a i mnoge različite web stranice država bivše Jugoslavije, ali i inozemstva, koje su posvećene svestranoj ličnosti novosadskog stvaraoca. * Grčka vojna akademija, Vari, GR- 16 673 Atena, [email protected] 1 Posebnu zahvalnost dugujem Jeleni Smiljanić, Jovani Pejović, Uni Ružić, Koraljki Crnković i Miljani Barjamović na velikoj pomoći i suštinskoj podršci. 44 Panajiotis Asimopulos Holon, 2 (3):44-93, 2012., Zagreb Multijezični mozaik u stihovima … 1.2. Život i glazbena karijera Đorđe Balašević rođen je 1953. godine u Novom Sadu. Prvi je uspeh postigao 1977. godine s popularnim hitom »U razdjeljak te ljubim«. Uskoro će uslijediti uspjesi s pjesmama »Prva ljubav«, »Panonski mornar« i album Odlazi cirkus. -

Scientific paper Creation and Analysis of the Yugoslav Rock Song Lyrics Corpus from 1967 to 20031 UDC 811.163.41’322 DOI 10.18485/infotheca.2019.19.1.1 Ljudmila Petkovi´c ABSTRACT: The paper analyses the pro- [email protected] cess of creation and processing of the Yu- University of Belgrade goslav rock song lyrics corpus from 1967 to Belgrade, Serbia 2003, from the theoretical and practical per- spective. The data have been obtained and XML-annotated using the Python program- ming language and the libraries lyricsmas- ter/yattag. The corpus has been preprocessed and basic statistical data have been gener- ated by the XSL transformation. The diacritic restoration has been carried out in the Slovo Majstor and LeXimir tools (the latter appli- cation has also been used for generating the frequency analysis). The extraction of socio- cultural topics has been performed using the Unitex software, whereas the prevailing top- ics have been visualised with the TreeCloud software. KEYWORDS: corpus linguistics, Yugoslav rock and roll, web scraping, natural language processing, text mining. PAPER SUBMITTED: 15 April 2019 PAPER ACCEPTED: 19 June 2019 1 This paper originates from the author’s Master’s thesis “Creation and Analysis of the Yugoslav Rock Song Lyrics Corpus from 1945 to 2003”, which was defended at the University of Belgrade on March 18, 2019. The thesis was conducted under the supervision of the Prof. Dr Ranka Stankovi´c,who contributed to the topic’s formulation, with the remark that the year of 1945 was replaced by the year of 1967 in this paper. -

Malta “To Dream Again” Lynn Chircopp
Austria “Man is the measure of all things” Alf Poier Austria’s entry this year at first appears mediocre, with notable Austrian music critic, Marie Herberstein describing it as “a stinker”. Closer inspection however, reveals a more complex story behind Alf Poier, a story likely to appeal to the biologically minded. The lyrical genius behind lines such as: “I like most animals on this earth, but I really prefer little rabbits and bears” and “Whoever wants to know more about animals should study Biology or inform himself on my homepage” more than makes up for the lack of melody. Perhaps criticizing the competitive nature of the entire Eurovision establishment, Poier states: “The difference between animals such as apes and primates is no bigger than between noodles and pasta” This kind of anti-establishment jibe is unlikely to win him any favours from the judges. Belgium “Sanomi” Urban Trad I like the cut of Urban Trad’s jib. They are combining traditional folk tunes with a more modern rhythm, and it works. Perhaps they are playing a very Celtic sounding tune because of Ireland’s success through Eurovision history. Perhaps Flemish folk music sounds like this too. Perhaps the greatest surprise with Urban Trad is that they have invented an “imaginary and thus universal language” for their song. With current pushes for unity in Europe, perhaps this will resound strongly with the judges. Croatia “Vise Nisam Tvoja” Claudia Beni Seventeen year-old hairdressing student, Claudia Beni will be disappointing many young European boys when she proclaims to the Latvian audience “I can’t be your lover”. -

Ever since I was a little boy I have been a fan, and some might even say that I became somewhat obsessed, for which I cannot really blame them. Moreover, I have always had a special interest in mixed language songs, so linking the two subjects seemed only natural. Thanks to a rather unfortunate turn of events, this thesis took a lot longer to write than was initially planned, but nevertheless, here it is. Special thanks are in order for my supervisor, Tony Foster, who has helped me in many ways during this time. I would also like to thank a number of other people for various reasons. The second reader Lettie Dorst. My mother, for being the reason I got involved with the Eurovision Song Contest. My father, for putting up with my seemingly endless collection of Eurovision MP3s in the car.
