Carte d’archivio meridionali (secc. VIII–XI). Lavori in corso per una mappatura dei dati lessicali

GeoDocuM deals with the lexical variation that characterizes the ancient legal documentation of continental southern Italy (with particular reference to the area between Campania and central–northern Puglia in a period ranging from the 8th to the 11th century), by testing a geospatial and statistical representation of the textual data. The paper focuses on the characteristics of the textual corpus, the IT procedures used to support the investigation and geospatial representation of lexical variation, and the localization strategies used to georeference the textual data. These issues are addressed through an initial case study on the lexemes identifying the access to land properties: anditus, -um, tra(n)situs, -um, introitus, -um, and ingressus, -um.
