- In creolist circles, there has been a long-standing debate whether creoles differ structurally from non-creole languages and thus would form a special class of languages with specific typological properties. This debate about the typological status of creole languages has severely suffered from a lack of systematic empirical study. This paper presents for the first time a number of large-scale empirical investigations of the status of creole languages as a typological class on the basis of different and well-balanced samples of creole and non-creole languages. Using statistical modeling (multiple regression) and recently developed computational tools of quantitative typology (phylogenetic trees and networks), this paper provides robust evidence that creoles indeed form a structurally distinguishable subgroup within the world's languages. The findings thus seriously challenge approaches that hold that creole languages are structurally indistinguishable from non-creole languages.

- For the purposes of computational dialec- tology or other geographically bound text analysis tasks, texts must be annotated with their or their authors’ location. Many texts are locatable but most have no ex- plicit annotation of place. This paper describes a series of experiments to de- termine how positionally annotated mi- croblog posts can be used to learn loca- tion indicating words which then can be used to locate blog texts and their authors. A Gaussian distribution is used to model the locational qualities of words. We in- troduce the notion of placeness to describe how locational words are.We find that modelling word distributions to account for several locations and thus several Gaussian distributions per word, defining a filter which picks out words with high placeness based on their local distributional context, and aggregating lo- cational information in a centroid for each text gives the most useful results. The re- sults are applied to data in the Swedish language.
