| Description | The paper dealt with the problems and specifics of the work on the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of the Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age, which runs as a project of the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Latin Department of the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. The paper drew on the author's work of a data collector (see http://lldb.elte.hu/team.php) and focused on collecting and coding data from the funerary inscriptions contained in the Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum VI. Many inscriptions in the CIL are now missing, so in some cases it is difficult to decide whether there is a datum to be recorded, or not. A few data forms containing several Vulgar Latin phenomena were selected for the demonstration: problems with proper names and automatic transcription of neighbouring inscriptions (LLDB-48313, 40315, 50422, etc.). |
