Alpheios Prototypes
Poetry
The Alpheios Poetry Prototype uses the first phrase of Homer's Iliad, read by Stanley Lombardo to demonstrate our vision of learning through the experience of poetry.
Text Analysis
Alpheios hosts a searchable instance of a Latin Lemmatized Text Corpus. The Corpus Latin antiquité et antiquité tardive lemmatisé: 0.0.2, published by Thibault Clérice (École nationale des chartes / Lyon 3), is searchable via the open source Blacklab Corpus Search Engine developed by the Dutch Language Institute. The corpnus has been automatically annotated (lemmas and morphology) using models trained on the LASLA Textes latin traités.
The Alpheios Inflection Frequencies Prototype demonstrates analyses of the frequency of inflections in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Odyssey analysis makes use of treebanked data. Frequency data is linked to individual occurrences in the texts.
