Description
LEMLAT is a morphological analyser and lemmatiser for Classical Latin. Developed in the early nineties by Andrea Bozzi, Giuseppe Cappelli and Nino Marinone for the purposes of lemmatisation of the 'Grammatici Latini' texts, it was improved in 2002-2004 with the addition of morphological traits within the European project CHLT ('Cultural Heritage Language Technilogies') by Marco Passarotti, Paolo Ruffolo and Andrea Bozzi at the ILC-CNR in Pisa.

More recently, a further upgrade to the lexical base of LEMLAT was realised at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, with the integration of the Onomasticon by Forcellini (about 27,000 entries). Also at UCSC Milan, a Marie Curie (MSCA Individual Fellowship) funded project is currently working on establishing wordformation relations between the lexical entries of LEMLAT. This project is also connected to the development of a new Java version of LEMLAT that is underway at the ILC-CNR.

With a base of more than 40,000 lexical entries resulting from the collation of three important Latin dictionaries (Oxford Latin Dictionary, Georges, Gradenwitz), LEMLAT is an essential tool to achieve a basic level of meta-linguistic annotation of Latin texts.
