The valency lexicon and the WordNet share lexical entries and are part of the LiLa Knowledge Base, which interlinks multiple linguistic resources for Latin. After describing the overall architecture of LiLa, as well as the structure of the lexical entries of Latin Vallex and Latin WordNet, the paper focuses on how valency frames have been modeled in LiLa, in line with a submodule of the Predicate Model for Ontologies (PreMOn) specifically created for the representation of grammatical valency. A mapping of the valency frames and the WordNet synsets assigned to the lexical entries shared by the two resources is detailed, as well as a number of queries that can be run across the interoperable resources for Latin currently in...

It represents a wide lexical resource for the study of Latin word formation. This paper describes how compounding is treated in the Word Formation Latin lexicon: the methodology and workflow employed to insert compound lemmas into the resource are described, as well as the reasons behind some methodological choices that have been taken during the process. Through the analysis of some types of Latin compounds, the theoretical contribution of this resource is highlighted and outlined.

resource for Latin, where lemmas are analysed into their formative
components, and relationships between them are established on the basis
of Word Formation Rules (WFRs). This paper describes the steps taken to
build the lexicon, the methodology used, and the advantages and
drawbacks of the automatic procedure employed to pair their input and
output lexical items. An on-line graphical query system to access the
lexicon is also described.

The work is performed through the combined use of a morphological analyser for Latin (Lemlat), and a database collecting all word forms occurring through different periods of Latin language (TF-CILF).

This paper describes the process of inserting the class of Latin-sc-verbs as a test case for discussing a number of linguistic theory issues arising from pigeonholing such a multiform class of verbs into a model regulated by a strict morphotactic approach. Additionally it discusses the first steps towards the design of a Word and Paradigm model for the representation of derivational families in Latin.

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.

This paper describes an easy to use web application to access this resource, using a combination of queries and interactive visualisations.

The processes of word form analysis and treatment of spelling variation performed by the tool are detailed, as well as the different output formats and the connection of the results with a recently built resource for deri-vational morphology of Latin. A light evaluation of the tool's lexical coverage against a diachronic vocabulary of the entire Latin world is also provided.

The types of word formation rules are discussed and the semi-automatic procedure to pair their input and output lexical items is evaluated. An on-line graphical query system to access the lexicon is described as well.

The project consists in the compilation of a derivational morphological dictionary of the Latin language, which connects lexical elements on the basis of wordformation rules, through the use of computational linguistic methods.

into their formative components, and relationships between
them are established on the basis of Word Formation
Rules (WFRs). For example amo (to love) and amator
(lover) are connected with a relationship that describes a
change from a verb to a noun through the addition of a suffix
(-a-tor) that in itself bears semantic information (in this
case it characterises agentive and instrumental nouns, i.e.
someone or something performing an action).
The Word Formation Latin project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 658332-WFL. It ran from November 2015 to October 2017 and resulted in a word formation based lexicon and tool for Latin. The work was carried out at the CIRCSE Research Centre of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.
The first Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo), whose contributions are collected in these proceedings, was organised to celebrate the end of the project and to consider the current status of research in the field.
