This session discusses linguistic approaches to studying the language and text of ancient papyri, in particular on the use of Treebanks (texts digitally encoded with morphological and syntactic annotations). We begin with a theoretical overview of the topic, the kinds of research questions that these methods may be applied to, and some examples of recent projects and tools for digital analysis of ancient Greek Treebanks. We then focus on two main case studies, projects looking at variations in post-classical Greek through morphology and syntax, and on word order in documentary papyri, respectively. We end with a demonstration and proposed exercise involving two major recent tools: PapyGreek Search and KilnTreebank.
