Announcement (English)
Announcing AthDGC ("Athens-PROIEL") - an open platform of computational tools and a diachronic Greek treebank, with Indo-European parallels. AthDGC ships two open deliverables side by side: an open-source toolkit for diachronic linguistics (LightSIDE-AthDGC for PROIEL syntactic features, a NoSketch-style concordancer, fine-tuned Stanza checkpoints, a per-verb argument-structure extractor, a cross-lingual alignment viewer, a corpus-fix toolkit, a retranslation-pair browser, a retelling-chain explorer, a PROIEL XML 2.0 validator) and a PROIEL XML 2.0 treebank with cross-lingual NT alignment. The platform ingests, dependency-parses, and cross-lingually aligns the entire Greek language - from Homer to Modern Greek - at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). Every sentence carries full PROIEL-style argument-structure annotation; the NT cross-aligned backbone aligns Greek to Latin (Vulgate), Gothic (Wulfila), and Old Church Slavonic (Marianus). Focus: retranslations, retellings, and influential texts across three millennia. Every source text is open-access (Perseus, OGL/First1K, SBL GNT, Rahlfs LXX, Papyri.info, Patrologia Graeca via Documenta Catholica Omnia, TITUS, GRETIL, SARIT, Wulfila Project, National Library of Ukraine); the annotation layer is AthDGC-original under CC-BY-4.0.
Current state: 89.9M corpus rows, 4.08M annotated Greek rows, 6,861 NT-aligned Greek verses cross-aligned to four sister IE witnesses; Classical Armenian in ingestion; Sanskrit, Old English, Avestan, Old Persian, Ukrainian queued at v0.7.
Launch report: GlossaContactLab Working Papers, NKUA digital edition. Funded by HFRI (Project No. 20577) and Greece 2.0 NRRP. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20439182.
