Abstract

This paper introduces the main components of the downloadable package of the 3.0 version of the morphological analyser for Latin Lemlat. 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 derivational morphology of Latin. A light evaluation of the tool’s lexical coverage against a diachronic vocabulary of the entire Latin world is also provided.
