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?

该项目旨在创建 PrevNet，这是一种关于拉丁语和古希腊语前缀运动动词的新数字资源。 PrevNet 将包含有关动词及其在文本中的用法的详细语言信息。我将从比较的角度分析拉丁语和古希腊语动词的语言属性差异，并将它们联系起来，以加深我们对两种文化的理解。我将考虑大约从公元前 8 世纪到公元 8 世纪的历史时期。前置词是附加在动词基础上的介词或副词。当动词基础具有前动词时，它就成为前动词。例如，英语的circum-navigate是一个前置动词，由动词词根navigate和前置动词circum-组成，后者来自拉丁语circum-“around”。运动动词专门用于描述运动事件。我将考虑拉丁语动词基础，例如 eo、gradior'go'、venio'come'、navigo'sail'、volo'fly'，以及古希腊语对应词，例如 eimi、baino'go'、erkhomai'come'、pleo'sail'、petomai'fly'。我将分析不同的运动领域（例如陆地上的运动、水上的运动、天空中的运动）。 PrevNet 的创建将使我能够回答以下三个学科领域的研究问题： 1.历史语言学 - 古希腊语和拉丁语预动词运动动词的语义如何受到其预动词的影响？其他特征（方面/动作性和空间关系）如何与句法结构和语义相互作用，以及这种情况如何随时间而变化？2.数字人文 - 什么方法框架最适合创建 PrevNet，以便它结合语料库数据的定量信息并可以在未来扩展？3.文化历史 - 古希腊语和拉丁语预动词运动动词之间存在哪些差异？它们揭示了古地中海地区希腊语和拉丁语社区之间的哪些接触？
