Greek and Latin corpora with variants and conjectures : Mapping critical apparatuses onto reference text
نویسنده
چکیده
The principal corpora currently available in classical literature, while quite thorough, are based on authoritative editions without critical apparatuses. However, philologists need to deal with textual variants attested by manuscripts and conjectures suggested by scholars through the centuries. This paper will explore some methods for information extraction applied to digitised apparatuses of critical editions and digital repertories of conjectures.

متن کاملCorpus Linguistics, Treebanks and the Reinvention of Philology
The fields of corpus and computational linguistics address fundamental goals – and challenge us to rethink the structure – of humanistic research. All work with historical languages is, in some sense, an exercise in corpus linguistics. The Greek and Latin Treebanks illustrate changes in intellectual practice. Linguistic annotation of historical corpora serves a different community and offers a ...
متن کاملDiachronic Trends in Word Order Freedom and Dependency Length in Dependency-Annotated Corpora of Latin and Ancient Greek
One easily observable aspect of language variation is the order of words. In human and machine natural language processing, it is often claimed that parsing freeorder languages is more difficult than parsing fixed-order languages. In this study on Latin and Ancient Greek, two wellknown and well-documented free-order languages, we propose syntactic correlates of word order freedom. We apply our ...
متن کاملText segmentation for Language Identification in Greek Forums
In this paper, we examine the benefit of applying text segmentation methods to perform language identification in forums. The focus here is on forums containing a mixture of information written in Greek, English as well as Greeklish.
