Description

This Universal Dependencies version of the LLCT (Late Latin Charter Treebank) consists of an automated conversion of the LLCT2 treebank from the Latin Dependency Treebank (LDT) format into the Universal Dependencies standard.

The Universal Dependencies version of the LLCT (Late Latin Charter Treebank) results from an automated conversion of the LLCT2 treebank from the Latin Dependency Treebank (LDT) format into the Universal Dependencies standard. The LLCT2 is the second part of three LLCT treebanks, the first part (LLCT1) being available in LDT format (see Korkiakangas, in press) and the third part still under construction (as of 4/2020).

The LLCT2 contains 521 Early Medieval Latin original documents (charters) written in Tuscia (Tuscany), Italy, between AD 774 and 897. They all represent the legal (documentary) genre. Their language is a non-standard variety of Latin which differs from Classical as well as from Medieval Latin in terms of spelling, morphology, and syntax. For a general overview of the LLCT treebanks, see Korkiakangas (in press).

The original annotation follows mainly the Guidelines for the Syntactic Annotation of Latin Treebanks (v. 1.3) (Bamman et al., 2007). However, the non-standard features are annotated following an additional set of rules described in (Korkiakangas and Passarotti, 2011) and in (Cecchini et al., 2020).

Acknowledgments

The conversion of the LLCT2 into the Universal Dependencies was realized by Flavio Massimiliano Cecchini and Marco Passarotti within the LiLa project (Linking Latin, https://lila-erc.eu/). The original LLCT2 was annotated by Timo Korkiakangas under projects funded by the University of Oslo and the Academy of Finland.
