In recent years, the availability of large annotated corpora, together with a new interest in the empirical foundation and validation of linguistic theory and description, has sparked a surge of novel work using corpus methods to study the grammar of natural languages. This volume presents recent developments and advances, firstly, in corpus-oriented grammar research with a special focus on Germanic, Slavic, and Romance languages and, secondly, in corpus linguistic methodology as well as the application of corpus methods to grammar-related fields. The volume results from the sixth international conference Grammar and Corpora (GaC 2016), which took place at the Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim, Germany, in November 2016.

The subject of this work is the morphosyntactic analysis of a corpus of Latin documentary papers which were written in the centre and the north of the Italian peninsula between the 7th and the 8th century. The study focuses on the competition, in the nominal phrase, between synthetic and analytical encoding of the dependent name, which is the result of the grammaticalization process of the phrase starting by the preposition “de”, which in the Romance phase replaced the genitive case. This change is interpreted on a semantic basis, making use of the functional domain of possession. The volume also analyses nominal morphology which, although characterized by polymorphism and inconsistency, manifests phenomena such as the levelling of random oppositions and the reconstruction of inflectional paradigms, two inverse processes which find their cause in the principle of animacy.

O conjunto lexicográfico da Prosodia, da autoria do jesuíta Bento Pereira (1605-1681) teve um longo percurso editorial ativo por mais de um século, com doze edições publicadas entre 1634 e 1750, entre Lisboa e Évora (Universidade de Évora). Este volume dicionarístico, que reúne os dicionários Prosodia latim-português e Tesouro português-latim, além de outras obras, foi um importante manual de ensino do latim e do português nos colégios inacianos, em Portugal e no espaço de ensino e de missão da Companhia de Jesus. Foi proibido por D. José aquando das Reformas Pombalinas e recebeu ordem de destruição. Apesar das vicissitudes, a Prosodia sobreviveu aos tempos, chegando até nós diversos volumes em bibliotecas espalhadas pelo mundo, que listamos. Transcrevem-se os dois catálogos autorais para as fontes latinas e portuguesas dos dicionários latim-português e português-latim, respetivamente, presentes nas edições princeps. Confirma-se a dilucidação da sequência editorial, que esteve envolta em discrepâncias na literatura, e apresentam-se facsimile dos rostos de todas as edições deste importante volume, marco da história da lexicografia bilingue latina e portuguesa.
