This paper describes how to turn a Latin dependency treebank into queryable information so that it can be browsed online using a tree query engine and its web interface. Œe annotation layers of the treebank are first introduced, then the query system architecture is detailed, and finally the way the treebank is converted into a relational database architecture is described.

The recent enhancement of the morphological analyser for Latin Lemlat with a large Onomasticon enables us to analyse both the morphology and the distribution of loanwords in the Latin lexicon. In this paper, first we describe the categories of proper names that were not possible to insert into Lemlat automatically, showing that a large part of them are loanwords. Then, we present the results of a qualitative analysis of loanwords to detect those ‘exceptional’ endings that identify loanwords featuring inectional properties not assimilated to those regular in the morphological system of Latin. In the end, we report a quantitative analysis of data to study the frequency of such loanwords in Latin texts.

This paper investigates the distribution of word formation data through network visualisation, as an entry point for the exploration / analysis of productivity in affixal derivation in Classical Latin. This study uses data from theWord Formation Latin lexicon, a derivational morphology resource for Latin, where entries are analysed into their formative components, and relationships between them are established on the basis of word formation rules.
