Pygmalion is available in three versions. Pygmalion-simple 1.0, the basic version of the tool, Pygmalion-colour 1.0 which enables to add colour-coded analytical categories defined by the user and Pygmalion-modal 1.0 which is specifically designed for drawing diachronic maps of modal markers or concepts. The working principles of Pygmalion-simple, Pygmalion-colour and Pygmalion-modal are identical. Mainly meant as a tool to represent the diachronic evolution of meaning as attested by philological evidence, Pygmalion is very flexible and can be easily adapted to other approaches, e.g. lexicographic or typological. Moreover, Pygmalion can work with any language and script, so opening the possibility to compare the evolution of meaning in different languages.

Abstract
Pygmalion is available in three versions. Pygmalion-simple 1.0, the basic version of the tool, Pygmalion-colour 1.0 which enables to add colour-coded analytical categories defined by the user and Pygmalion-modal 1.0 which is specifically designed for drawing diachronic maps of modal markers or concepts. The working principles of Pygmalion-simple, Pygmalion-colour and Pygmalion-modal are identical. Mainly meant as a tool to represent the diachronic evolution of meaning as attested by philological evidence, Pygmalion is very flexible and can be easily adapted to other approaches, e.g. lexicographic or typological. Moreover, Pygmalion can work with any language and script, so opening the possibility to compare the evolution of meaning in different languages.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
