Abstract:
In Methods in Latin Computational Linguistics, Barbara McGillivray presents some of the methodological foundations of Latin Computational Linguistics through three corpus case studies covering morpho-syntactic and lexical-semantic aspects of Latin verb valency and quantitative diachronic explorations of Latin prefixed verbs.
