SubsidieMeestersDigital Latin Dialectology (DiLaDi): Tracing Linguistic Variation in the Light of Ancient and Early Medieval Sources
DiLaDi is an interdisciplinary project that analyzes Latin language variations through textual errors in early medieval documents to enhance understanding of Romance language evolution and cultural impacts.
Projectdetails
Introduction
DiLaDi is an interdisciplinary project that aims to perform a novel comprehensive study on the variation of the Latin Language over the 1st millennium A.D. This study considers geographical and chronological perspectives as well as the transition from Latin to Romance. The project will process and analyze textual errors (deviations from the norm) of ancient and early medieval primary documents with the help of the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age (LLDB), which employs a revolutionary method of data analysis.
Research Objectives
DiLaDi aims to give a breakthrough impetus to relevant research by involving a group of sources that have so far not been adequately considered in research:
- Original parchment charters of private law from mostly the 7th-8th centuries.
- These documents are available in large numbers and are very rich in data reflecting linguistic changes.
The involvement of these sources could open up further perspectives for the research of history and dialectology of late Latin, based on working with a Database that has so far relied mainly on inscriptions.
Project Implementation
The project plan will be implemented by a 10-person research group with the help of a large data collection team in international collaboration. Within the project framework, the following goals will be achieved:
- At least 50,000 new data forms will be added to the unique LLDB Database.
- Results will be disseminated through the organization of 5 international workshops.
- Delivery of at least 50 lectures.
- Publication of 50 studies and 1 monograph.
- Education of potential future collaborators in at least 5 university courses.
- Submission of 3 PhD theses and 1 habilitation thesis to ensure the scientific advancement of the participating researchers.
Expected Outcomes
As a result, this research will allow for a better understanding of the processes that led to the development of Romance languages. It will also help determine the linguistic, ethnic, and even cultural features of medieval and modern Europe.
