Abstract

This paper aims to present some observations on the methods used to assemble and organise collections of texts, i.e. the corpora of what are wrongly known as the dead languages. Although more technical aspects such as how to format or check the corpus are not dealt with here, representativeness, adequate corpus size and effectiveness are three essential features that must be taken into consideration for any late Latin corpus.
