Page 2 CroatiaFest Newsletter March 23, 2010 Dear loyal friends and supporters of CroatiaFest: The CroatiaFest 2010 all volunteer Planning Committee and Board of Directors has been meet- ing and working diligently to select a theme and set a budget for a cultural and fun packed event the first weekend in October. This year’s theme is “ Culture and Sport” and the committee needs your financial support to bring all aspects together for a successful event. Our capable volunteer grant writers are searching avenues to find grants and then make the applications. We are thinking positive but also realistic knowing that monies are not readily available or there are many applications and competition for the grants. We are fortunate to be a part of the Seattle Center Festál series and are grateful for their support providing the venue and ancillary services. The Board of Directors anticipates your participation by sending your most generous donation today! Chairman Dr. Frank Brozovich kicked off the fundraising effort for 2010 with a donation of $1,000 and fundraising chair, Bev- erly Read, submitted her check for $250 today. An early donation of $100 was received from Dick & Michele Kloss. CroatiaFest is a recognized non– profit by the IRS so your donation is tax deductible. You can help us raise $20,000 by making your donation of any size right now! A self- addressed envelope is in this newsletter. Anyone making a donation of $100 or more will receive an invitation to a Dignitary Reception on Saturday evening, October 2nd and be listed on the website and program. You just might meet some of our famous Pacific Northwest athletes and performing artists at the reception. Our committee is working on it! On behalf of Chairman and Honorary Consul, Dr. Frank Brozovich; Event coordinators, Presi- dent Cathryn Morovich and Kristen Lemieux; Vice-President, Richard Major; Treasurer, Mi- chael Rancich; Board of Directors and the Planning Committee we extend this opportunity for your participation to continue the preservation and presentation of our culture to our commu- nities and even to future generations.

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.

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.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT MUSIC DANCING CRAFTS SINGING FOOD JAMMING SPRING Dear Friends: The seventy-fourth annual New England Folk Festival has arrived!!! I am so excited to be able to enjoy this time with you. Dearer to me than ever is the chance to reunite with old and new friends. The lively music, the zesty dancing, the singing, the costumes and the crafts – these are things we cherish each year. They are also expressions of a deeper goal. At NEFFA we seek to fulfill NEFFA’s specific purpose, as outlined decades ago by the organization’s founders: “To preserve folk traditions in New England and elsewhere, and to encourage the development of a living folk culture.” Our simple aim for the upcoming Festival is to create a weekend filled with fun and joy. NEFFA is really just a large extended family, and we have lost someone who has had a large influence on not just how the program gets shaped but how we treat each other in the process. Linda Leslie was mentor and friend to many of us. We will hold a special tribute to our beloved Program Chair, Board member, and friend on Saturday at 8 PM in the High School gym.

  • South East Europe Jim Samson Published Online: 13 January 2015
    South East Europe Jim Samson https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.2274378 Published online: 13 January 2015 A meta region within Europe. Its geographical boundaries are imprecise, but the Balkan peninsula is usually regarded as core territory. Constituent nation states are Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Romania, and at least five of the six former republics of Yugoslavia, themselves now independent states: Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Macedonia. The term ‘South East Europe’, which is generally favoured in the region itself, suggests an accommodation to the new Europe, and implicitly recognizes that these nations are either members, or aspiring members, of the European Union. In contrast, an alternative term, ‘Balkans’, tends to signify the Ottoman past of the region, and has acquired a negative resonance in some quarters (as in the frequent pejorative use of ‘Balkanization’ to suggest a process of fragmentation or division). The historian Maria Todorova equates the term ‘Balkans’ with Ottoman presence and legacy, and accordingly some commentators include Turkey in the region, and exclude Slovenia. There appears to be a consensus that Hungary, despite the Ottoman presence there, has been too closely aligned to Central Europe, or East Central Europe (to use two labels that carry their own ideological burden), to be included in this region, whether labelled South East Europe or the Balkans. Likewise Moldova, despite its cultural and linguistic links with Romania, is conventionally excluded because of its history within the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. 1. Historical overview. In their multi-volume History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, Marcel Cornis-Pope and John Neubauer set out, among other things, to recover aspects of literary history that have been suppressed or distorted by an all-pervasive national perspective.
