This project aims at creating PrevNet, a new digital resource on prefixed verbs of motion in Latin and Ancient Greek. PrevNetwill contain detailed linguistic information on verbs and their usage in the texts. In a comparative perspective, I will analyse differences in the linguistic properties of the verbs between Latin and Ancient Greek and connect them to deepen our understanding of the two cultures. I will consider the historical period included between the 8th century BCE and the 8th century AD, approximately. Preverbs are prepositions or adverbs which attach onto a verbal base, preceding it. When a verbal base possesses a preverb, it becomes a preverbed verb. For instance, the English circum-navigateis a preverbed verb, composed of the verbal base navigateand the preverbcircum-, which comes from Latin circum-'around'. Verbs of motion are devoted to the description of motion events. I will consider Latin verbal bases such as eo, gradior'go', venio'come', navigo'sail', volo'fly', and Ancient Greek counterparts such as eimi, baino'go', erkhomai'come', pleo'sail', petomai'fly'. I will analyse different areas of motion (e.g. motion on land, motion on water, motion in the sky).The creation of PrevNetwill allow me to answer the following research questions across three disciplinary fields 1.historical linguistics - how is the semantics of Ancient Greek and Latin preverbed motion verbs affected by their preverbs? How do other characteristics -aspect/actionality and spatial rela-tions -interact with syntactic structures and semantics, and how does this change over time?2.digitalhumanities - what methodological framework is most suitable to create PrevNet, so that it combines quantitative information from corpus data and can be extended in the future?3.cultural history - what differences occur between Ancient Greek and Latin preverbed motion verbs? What do they reveal about the contact between the Greek-speaking and the Latin-speak-ing communities in the ancient Mediterranean area?

这个项目旨在创建PrevNet，一个新的数字资源，关于拉丁语和古希腊语的前缀动词。prevnet将包含有关动词及其在课文中的用法的详细语言信息。从比较的角度，我将分析拉丁语和古希腊语动词的语言特性的差异，并将它们联系起来，加深我们对两种文化的理解。我将考虑大约在公元前8世纪到公元8世纪之间的历史时期。先行词是附着在词根上的介词或副词，位于词根之前。当动词根带有先行动词时，它就成为先行动词。例如，英语中的“circum- navigatee”是一个先行动词，由词根“navigatee”和“prevercirm -”组成，而“prevercirm -”来自拉丁语“cirm”，意为“周围”。运动动词用于描述运动事件。我将考虑拉丁语的词基，如eo， grador 'go', venio'come', navigo'sail', volo'fly‘，以及古希腊语的对应词，如eimi， baino’go', erkhomai'come', pleo'sail', petomai‘fly’。我将分析运动的不同领域（例如在陆地上的运动，在水上的运动，在天空中的运动）。创建prevnet将使我能够回答以下三个学科领域的研究问题。历史语言学——古希腊和拉丁语先行动词的语义是如何受到先行动词的影响的？其他特征——方面/行动性和空间关系——是如何与句法结构和语义相互作用的，这是如何随时间变化的？数字人文学科——什么样的方法论框架最适合创建PrevNet，以便它结合语料库数据的定量信息，并在未来可以扩展？文化史——古希腊和拉丁语的主动动词有什么不同？它们揭示了古代地中海地区讲希腊语和讲拉丁语的社区之间的什么联系？
