Abstract
Despite a centuries-long tradition in lexicography, Latin lacks state-of-the-art\r\ncomputational lexical resources. This situation is strictly related to the still quite limited amount of\r\nlinguistically annotated textual data for Latin, which can help the building of new lexical resources\r\nby supporting them with empirical evidence. However, projects for creating new language resources\r\nfor Latin have been launched over the last decade to fill this gap. In this paper, we present Latin\r\nVallex, a valency lexicon for Latin built in mutual connection with the semantic and pragmatic\r\nannotation of two Latin treebanks featuring texts of different eras. On the one hand, such a connection\r\nbetween the empirical evidence provided by the treebanks and the lexicon allows to enhance each\r\nframe entry in the lexicon with its frequency in real data. On the other hand, each valency-capable\r\nword in the treebanks is linked to a frame entry in the lexicon.
