Towards an Empirically-based Valency Lexicon of Latin
Abstract
Nonostante una secolare tradizione lessicografica, la lingua latina manca ancora di risorse lessicali di tipo computazionale aggiornate allo stato dell’arte. Ciò è strettamente connesso alla limitata disponibilità di corpora testuali latini annotati linguisticamente, sulla cui base empirica possano essere costruite nuove risorse lessicali. Tuttavia, una serie di progetti mirati allo sviluppo di avanzate risorse linguistiche per il latino (tra cui alcune treebank) è stata avviata nel corso dell’ultimo decennio. In questo articolo, presentiamo Latin Vallex, un lessico di valenza per il latino realizzato in stretta connessione con l’annotazione semantico-pragmatica di due treebank latine comprensive di testi di epoche e generi diversi. Ciò consente di connettere biunivocamente le strutture valenziali registrate nel lessico e le loro occorrenze nei dati testuali delle treebank.
