        Subject: An open resource for studying modality in diachrony: release of the WoPoss Latin corpus and its user-friendly search interface

Dear all,

We are happy to inform you that we have recently released a sample of the WoPoss
corpus – an annotated corpus for the investigation of the diachrony of modality
in Latin – together with a user-friendly interface to query it.

WoPoss – A World of Possibilities. Modal pathways over an extra-long period of
time: the diachrony of modality in the Latin language – is a project that aims
at setting up and annotating in a fine-grained way a balanced corpus of Latin
texts from the 3rd c. BCE to the 7th c. CE in order to investigate the evolution
of lexical and morphological modal markers according to dedicated
Guidelines<https://zenodo.org/record/6417878#.YwKJ8-xBzAM>.

A sample of the annotated corpus is now available and the modal passages can be
queried at woposs.unine.ch/form.html<https://woposs.unine.ch/form.html>

More annotated texts will be added in the next few months. If you have any
query, we are happy to answer.

WoPoss is a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (project no.
PP0001_176778).

Best wishes,

Francesca Dell’Oro for the whole WoPoss team
