Sažetak
This paper continues the work in natural language processing in the Medieval Latin (cf. Mijić and Bartulović 2020). The corpus consists of 385 wills, drawn up between 1209 and 1409 in the Zadar commune, and comprises 84 unpublished and 301 published wills. The latter has been published for over a hundred years and various publishing rules have been applied. Therefore, in the first phase of the work, we have cleaned the text from typographical errors and have equalized the use of different kinds of brackets within the damaged words. After we had annotated the common nouns from the corpus in our previous paper, in this paper we extend NooJ’s resources with a dictionary of adjectives. Latin is a heavily inflected language. Adjectives distinguish three declensions and they are inflected for number (2), case (6), and gender (3). They are divided into two declension classes (first and second declension, and third declension) with more subclasses. There are three degrees of adjectives: positive, comparative and superlative. Regardless of the declension of the positive adjective, the comparative belongs to third declension, and superlative to first and second declension. The comparison of adjectives is divided into four types: a) regular, b) irregular, c) periphrastic, and d) defective comparison with different subtypes. We also include all adverbs (of place, time, and manner) in the dictionary. Adverbs are uninflected words. However, the most adverbs of manner are formed from adjectives (i.e. notus > note, acer > acriter, sapiens > sapienter), and the comparative and the superlative of adverbs from adjective bases (i.e. adj. felix, -icis: comp. felicior, felicius, sup. felicissimus, -a - um ; adv. feliciter: comp. felicius, sup. felicissime). Finally, we propose to present morphological inflectional paradigms for adjective recognition and derivation paradigms for the adjective comparison and the formation and comparison of adverbs of manner.
