Abstract
This paper is a contribution to the building of a NooJ module for medieval Latin. It presents a dictionary and grammars for the formalization of inflectional forms of pronouns and numerals. Furthermore, after expanding the dictionary with prepositions and conjunctions, we created a syntactic grammar for the extraction of prepositional phrases, which can include a varied number and types of inflectional words linked with one or more conjunctions. The compiled grammars were applied to a corpus of last wills and testaments written in medieval Latin in the Zadar commune. The results show a very high level of extraction of prepositional phrases, except for prepositional phrases containing full names, due to the complex and non-fixed structure of medieval full names.
