Outline

After having outlined the WoPoss project aiming at the description of modality in the Latin language, automatic and manual annotation of a Latin work (Satyricon) is presented. First, we focus on the automatic annotation of lemmas, parts of speech (henceforth PoS) and morphological analysis. Then we outline the manual annotation of a modal passage according to a simplified version of the WoPoss Guidelines (Dell’Oro 2022). The search interface to query the corpus will be also briefly presented (https://woposs.unine.ch/form.html).

Exercise

Exercise 1: WoPoss

It is possible to contribute to the WoPoss corpus in two ways, as shown by the exercises that will be suggested in the session.

  1. You can correct the results of the automatic annotation (lemmas, PoS and morphological analysis). If you want to try it during or after the session, you will need to create a GitHub account (https://github.com/).
  2. You can also try to annotate a modal passage by yourself. In this case, you will need an Inception account. Just ask the WoPoss tema to create one for you (write to [email protected]) before or after the session. Your contribution will be recognised in the file description.
