With the use of special ad-hoc created forms, all demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of families and single persons in "Granducato di Toscana" were described. Work is developed in five points: (1) informatics retrieval of linguistic information from Tuscany of 1800 focused by the arts and craftsmanship more in use in families of that time; (2) gender division of works and craftsmanship; (3) observation of lexical disparity in the four communities and terminological curiosities of that historical period; (4) actually no longer existing craftsmanship; and (5) diachronic analysis of communities, where possible. In this scenario, the authors will introduce the methodology they used for data analysis. Tables and figures will be used to better focus different moments and results of the work. A Glossary ...

By retrieving these keywords it should be possible to highlight the ebb and flow of some thematic topics. The NLP terminological sample derives from a database created for this purpose using the DBT software (Textual Data Base, ILC patent). Scientific presentations at the main conferences of the '60s point out a frequent recurrence of expressions such as mécanisation des études lexicologique, les machines à cartes perforées et leurs application lexicologique, which trace back to the origin of electronic processing of linguistic data and to some solutions of linguistic-literary problems, to lexicographic researches, to scientific terminology, to automatic dictionaries, to homographs, synonyms and the possibility of producing indexes and concordances by means of an electronic processor. Terms such as meccanizzazione, mechanical translation, machine à traduire used by experts of the field in the 1950s and 1960s seem to well testify the change, the shift, the beginning and then the final consecration of a rapidly evolving field: Natural Language Processing.

In 2008 Robert Dale, in the last issue of volume 35 of Computational Linguistics said: "There are a number of definitions of the term 'open access' in circulation, but almost all share the key principle that scientific literature should be freely available for all to read, download, copy, distribute, and use (with appropriate attribution) without restriction". At first glance it might seem that the Open Access movement has gradually become more influential in the field of language technology by building repositories accessible through the network. Today's digital archives are niches of intellectual production spread by means of a wide range of documents (such as journal articles and proceedings) which, paradoxically, the search engines do not always reach. The use of inap...

In particular it describes the role of social media in relation with traditional channels and how social media applications can be used for Grey.
