Abstract

We apply word hierarchical clustering techniques to collect the occurrences of the lemma forma that show a similar contextual behaviour in the works of Thomas Aquinas into the same or closely related groups. Our results will support the lexicographers of a data-driven new lexicon of Thomas Aquinas in their task of writing the lexical entry of forma. We use two datasets: the Index Thomisticus (IT), a corpus containing the opera omnia of Thomas Aquinas, and the Index Thomisticus Treebank, a syntactically annotated subset of the IT.
Results are evaluated against a manually labeled subset of the occurrences of forma.

The IT was lemmatised manually. Participles were always reduced to verbs unless they feature a separate lexical entry in the Latin dictionary provided by Forcellini (1771; extended in 1896 by R. Klotz, G. Freund & L. Doderlein); for instance, the word falsus is always lemmatised as a form of the adjective falsus and not of the verb fallo. Disambiguation of the homographs is partly available in the IT and it is completed in the Index Thomisticus Treebank.

Sentences in the IT-TB were splitted automatically by strong punctuation marks (period, colon, semicolon, question mark, exclamation mark). At times, manual modifications of automatic sentence splitting were made by annotators.
