Session outline

The theme of this session is linguistic annotation of inscriptions from parts of speech to semantics/pragmatics. The session consists of three main parts, illustrating two ways of annotating inscriptions from a linguistic point of view – i.e. manually and automatically – and how the linguistic data of an annotated inscriptional corpus can be searched and explored.

  1. The Euboean inscriptions of Sicily treebank;
  2. The WoPoss modality annotation model applied to inscriptions;
  3. Exploring an annotated inscriptional corpus.
