Abstract

Building treebanks for ancient languages, like Ancient Greek and Latin, raises a number of challenges that have restricted so far the enhancement of the available treebanks for Classical languages with higher levels of analysis, like semantics and pragmatics. By detailing the semi-automatic annotation procedures and the treatment of two specific constructions of Latin, this paper presents the first steps towards the semantic and pragmatic annotation of a Medieval Latin treebank, the \textit{Index Thomisticus} Treebank.
