Abstract

Abstract We have built a corpus-driven valency lexicon for Greek verbs by following an approach devised for Latin data. We have then used the lexicon to detect a specific type of potentially ambiguous syntactic patterns in Latin and Greek hexametric poetry, which can consistently be disambiguated by prosodic breaks. Such disambiguating breaks were then mapped onto the metrical structure of the lines containing the ambiguous patterns, in order to assess their correspondence to metrical boundaries and to gather independent evidence on the phonetic nature of the boundaries themselves in view of further investigation. From a methodological point of view, the lexica have enabled us to draw on a relatively large set of texts to study a rare phenomenon and to establish a semi-automatic procedure that can be replicated on larger and compatible corpora.
使用中的拉丁语和希腊语计算配价词典:句法歧义的个案研究
摘要本文采用拉丁语料库的方法,构建了一个由语料库驱动的希腊语动词配价词典。然后,我们使用词典来检测拉丁和希腊六韵诗中特定类型的潜在歧义句法模式,这些语法模式可以通过韵律中断来消除歧义。然后将这些消歧中断映射到包含模糊模式的行的韵律结构上,以便评估它们与韵律边界的对应关系,并收集关于边界本身语音性质的独立证据,以便进一步调查。从方法论的角度来看,词典使我们能够利用相对较大的文本集来研究一种罕见的现象,并建立一种半自动的程序,可以在更大的和兼容的语料库上复制。
