Dear Digital Classicists,

please apologize for cross-posting.

I would like to inform you about my new database:

Nunn, Christopher Alexander: Keywords in Augustine's Letters (KAL), in  
heiDATA: Heidelberg Research Data Repository, 2018. DOI:  
https://doi.org/10.11588/data/R5RAXO.

Key words are not the most frequent words in a letter, but merely the  
words which are outstandingly frequent within a letter in comparison  
to the remaining epistolary corpus of Augustine.

252 latin letters, based on the CAG Online, were lemmatized with the  
aid of the TreeTagger and the Latin parameter files of Gabriele  
Brandolini. Afterwards, Lemmatization errors were corrected manually.  
With Wordsmith 7.0, I extracted key words out of the lemmas  
automatically. The results were exported in MS Excel where I added an  
Index and modified the design to provide it more user-friendly.  
Furthermore, I created a register, which makes it easier to compare  
parallels of the key words in the letters of Augustine. They are  
sorted by frequency or alphabet. It provides useful additional  
information for everyone who wants to study style or content of  
Augustine's letters.

Kind regards from Heidelberg,

Christopher Nunn
