Abstract:

Over the last few decades, the widespread diffusion of digital technology has
increased availability of primary textual sources, radically changing the
everyday life of scholars in the humanities, who are now able to access, query
and process a wealth of empirical evidence in ways not possible before.

Also for ancient languages, corpora enhanced with increasingly complex layers
of metalinguistic information, such as part-of-speech tagging and syntactic
annotation (called 'treebanks') are now available. In particular, diachronic
treebanks, which provide data for a language across several historical stages
of a given language, allow for a new approach to diachronic studies of
syntactic phenomena where scholars previously had to content themselves with
empirical work on a much smaller scale.

This volume brings together a set of papers that report research on various
diachronic matters supported by evidence from diachronic treebanks. The
contents of the papers cover a wide range of languages, including English,
French, Russian, Old Church Slavonic, Latin and Ancient Greek. Originally
published as special issue of "Diachronica" 35:3 (2018).
