Locus and its contexts A lexicological analysis in Burgundian medieval latin diplomatic corpus

This paper is a feedback of a “distant reading” of the Latin lemma locus and the bi-lemma locus-sanctus in the diplomatic documents of the Corpus Burgundiae Medii Aevi (CBMA), between the 9th and 14th centuries. These explorations show the permanencies and the sometime unexpected lexical transformations, as well as the heuristic potential of a non-linear approach to a structured corpus.
