Abstract

The article presents computerized Latin dialectology, a method developed by the Budapest school based on the work of József Herman. It analyses “errors” in Latin inscriptions from the Imperial period to study regional varieties of Latin. The main tool is the LLDB database (lldb.elte.hu/en). The article also traces the history of research on provincial Latin and illustrates methodological advances through practical examples.
