Post Scriptum: Archivo Digital de Escritura Cotidiana en Portugal y España en la Edad Moderna 1 (en adelante, Post Scriptum) tiene como finalidad recoger y publicar cartas particulares escritas en portugués y en español durante la Edad Moderna (desde el s. XVI hasta el primer tercio del s. XIX) por personas pertenecientes a diferentes estratos sociales. Estas cartas, en su mayoría inéditas, sobrevivieron excepcionalmente al cruzarse las vidas de sus autores con los medios de persecución tanto de la Inquisición como de distintos tribunales civiles y eclesiásticos, instituciones que solían hacer uso de la correspondencia privada como prueba de los delitos que estaban siendo juzgados. Los documentos, que forman parte de procesos judiciales, vienen generalmente acompañados de 'interrogatorios sociológicos' llevados a cabo por inquisidores y jueces varios, lo que permite a los investigadores una contextualización adecuada de las relaciones interpersonales en las sociedades tradicionales. Estas fuentes escritas suelen presentar una retórica casi oral, tematizando asuntos cotidianos que hasta ahora no se habían estudiado más que a partir de casos aislados.

In European Portuguese, metalinguistic negation can be conveyed by unambiguous negation markers, such as cá/lá and agora, identified by Martins . Nada is also a true metalinguistic negation maker, belonging to the group of peripheral markers (cf. Martins, 2010). Following proposal, we assume nada is located in C. Whenever the IP is topicalized, it adjoins to CP, deriving the order with sentence-final nada. However, if morphological merger is observed, both the verb and nada (or cá/lá and nada) will merge in C, deriving the sentences with post-verbal nada.

In this paper, we report on the design features, the development conditions and the methodological options of a deep linguistic databank, the CINTIL DeepGramBank. In this corpus, sentences are annotated with fully fledged linguistically informed grammatical representations that are produced by a deep linguistic processing grammar, thus consistently integrating morphological, syntactic and semantic information. We also report on how such corpus permits to straightforwardly obtain a whole range of past generation annotated corpora (POS, NER and morphology), current generation treebanks (constituency treebanks, dependency banks, propbanks) and next generation databanks (logical form banks) simply by means of a very residual selection/extraction effort to get the appropriate "views" exposing the relevant layers of information.

This paper discusses and present solutions for the adaptation of deep linguistic grammars as supporting tools in the construction of dynamic propbanks. It reports on the results of an experimental study with a pilot application of this approach to propbanking. Estimated scores for inter-annotator agreement and for development effort are presented.
