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