| Résumé |
We present a new corpus-based resource and methodology for the
annotation of Latin lexical semantics, consisting of 2,399
annotated passages of 40 lemmas from the Latin diachronic corpus
LatinISE. We also describe how the annotation was designed, analyse
annotators’ styles, and present the preliminary results of a study
on the lexical semantics and diachronic change of the 40 lemmas. We
complement this analysis with a case study on semantic vagueness. As
the availability of digital corpora of ancient languages increases,
and as computational research develops new methods for large-scale
analysis of diachronic lexical semantics, building lexical semantic
annotation resources can shed new light on large-scale patterns in
the semantic development of lexical items over time. We share
recommendations for designing the annotation task that will
hopefully help similar research on other less-resourced or
historical languages. |
