Dear Aurélien, The resources you have pointed to are a good starting point. But these stop-word lists presume that you are processing unlemmatized Latin, which I personally find to be an approach of limited interest. If you are generating usage statistics on lemmatized Latin, you obviously need to add common words that appear in many inflected forms. The lemmata I have found necessary to add to the public lists you mention are these: sum, possum, facio, do, dico, video, fero, facio, meus, tuus, suus, res, ille, hic, ipse, qui, quis, venio, habeo, omnis, voco, inquam I generated that list when looking at frequencies in a small subset of Latin epic, so YMMV.
