As one of the dominant languages of the Roman Empire, Greek Koiné continues to play a very important role during the Roman period and shows a big deal of diatopic and diastratal (social and political) variation. One such example is Atticism: the classical language came to be considered as “the ideal variety” as opposed to the administrative Koiné that is dissociated from any literary tradition (inter alia, Swain 1996; Schmitz 1997; Silk 2009; Strobel 2009; Rafiyenko & Seržant 2022).

I'm pleased to share my new free and open-source language analysis app, MiMo: https://github.com/nickriches/MiMoShinyLive. It's aimed at both speech and language therapists and students of language acquisition more generally. The app replicates key features of CLAN, such as automatic calculation of MLU, but without the steep learning curve. It also provides a user-friendly way to explore linguistic data, e.g. colour-coding word classes, searching for particular words, and plotting normative d

Focus: Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed a clear paradigm shift: the transition from rule-based approaches to data-driven language models. While rule-based approaches dominated NLP for many years, during the 1990s and early 2000s they gradually gave way to statistical and machine-learning methods. It would be fair to say that data-driven models—and, most prominently, Deep Learning (DL), including more recently Large Language Models (LLMs)—have taken the world by storm. Deep Learnin
