| 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 is ran 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. Since the CIL does not contain dating, modern editions/databases have to be consulted, too (e. g. the Epigraphic Database Roma); however, not even they are flawless. 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. Five data forms containing several Vulgar Latin phenomena were selected for the demonstration: confusing of cases(LLDB-42766), wrong aspiration (LLDB-42703), consonant geminaton(LLDB-42772), technical errors (LLDB-43325) and problems with proper names (LLDB-43287). |
