Natural Language Processing for Ancient Greek: Design, advantages and challenges of language models
Computational methods have produced meaningful and usable results to study word semantics, including semantic change. These methods, belonging to the field of Natural Language Processing, have recently been applied to ancient languages; in particular, language modelling has been applied to Ancient Greek, the language on which we focus. In this contribution we explain how vector representations can be computed from word co-occurrences in a corpus …
The semantic map of when and its typological parallels
In this paper, we explore the semantic map of the English temporal connective when and its parallels in more than 1,000 languages drawn from a parallel corpus of New Testament translations. We show that there is robust evidence for a cross-linguistic distinction between universal and existential WHEN . We also see tentative evidence that innovation in this area involves recruiting new items for universal WHEN which gradually can take over the exi…
