It represents a wide lexical resource for the study of Latin word formation. This paper describes how compounding is treated in the Word Formation Latin lexicon: the methodology and workflow employed to insert compound lemmas into the resource are described, as well as the reasons behind some methodological choices that have been taken during the process. Through the analysis of some types of Latin compounds, the theoretical contribution of this resource is highlighted and outlined.

The current increased interest in both the theoretical and applicative aspects of word formation is strictly connected to the large need for automatic semantic processing of linguistic data.
The Word Formation Latin project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 658332-WFL. It ran from November 2015 to October 2017 and resulted in a word formation based lexicon and tool for Latin. The work was carried out at the CIRCSE Research Centre of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.
The first Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo), whose contributions are collected in these proceedings, was organised to celebrate the end of the project and to consider the current status of research in the field.

After a survey on how compounding is treated in the Word Formation Latin (WFL) lexicon, the fate of Latin compounds in Italian is analyzed from a morphological point of view, focusing on what of Latin Compounding (LC) has survived and what is lost. It is shown that most of Latin compounds have been totally lost or they were re-analyzed as derived or simple words. This causes a strong discontinuity between Latin and Italian compounding and a system reorganization, common to all Romance Languages, in compound word formation.

Through the analysis of some types of Latin compounds , perspectives and limitations of the resource are highlighted; its contribution to theoretical and computational linguistic issues is also outlined.

These compounds display both double inflection (e.g. cassePLfortiPL ‘safes’, doppiPLvetriPL ‘double glasses’), and external inflection (e.g. roccaSGfortiPL ‘strongholds’, doppioSGpettiPL ‘double-breasted’). Furthermore, in some cases the same compound shows both kinds of inflection, i.e. ‘overabundance’ (Thornton 2012). The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data from a corpus of Contemporary Italian (i.e. itWaC) reveals that NA compounds do not show a consistent behavior in number inflection, since they are in general ancient and infrequent forms which originate in syntax and, in some cases, undergo lexicalization. On the other hand, AN compounds represent a morphological pattern mostly consisting of (sometimes still productive) series which display a transparent internal structure and a strong tendency to double inflection. Moreover, it appears from the examined data that although in most cases each compound seems to need an ad hoc explanation, frequency (especially for NA compounds) and belonging to a series (for AN compounds) can be considered as the most relevant factors for determining inflection.
