Hello list!
I have to confess that, unlike many digital medievalists and humanists, I am neither a linguist nor a lexicographer... Although, I have long been tempted to use lexicographic tools on my sources (for the records, latin homiletic literature). I am particularly interested in cooccurrences, techniques of authorship attribution, and automatic identification of "borrowed" spans of text, for instance. The problem is I feel a bit clueless / helpless when it comes to put things into gear...
Would any of you have already gone the same way, and could direct me to some introduction accessible to non-linguists, and maybe to some lexicometry softwares? I am particularly interested in softwares that would be able to deal "intelligently" with Latin (most of them seem to handle very nicely contemporary, widespread languages like English, but I haven't seen any specializing in Latin).
Thanks! M.
