The PROIEL corpora of old Indo-European languages
In these talks, I will present the PROIEL-family corpora of old Indo-European languages, which exist for a large variety of languages such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Gothic, Old Church Slavonic, Old Norse, Old English, and several Old Romance languages. All the corpora are annotated for morphology and syntax, and many of them also have other layers of annotation such as information structure, animacy, derivational morphology etc.
In these two lectures, I present the annotation principles and how they were applied in the different languages. There will be a hands-on session on how the annotation can be queried. I also discuss a few case studies of how the corpora were used in research.
