A diachronic expansion of the PROIEL corpus does not meet important obstacles in terms of morphological annotation. Morphological annotation in the PROIEL corpus is relatively theory-neutral and unproblematic. Moreover, the featural content of morphemes is relatively stable. In the history of Greek, it is rarely the case that a morpheme changes its content so that it would be unclear how to annotate it. Changes rather involve development of new morphemes or a shift from synthetic to analytic expression. These changes are unproblematic from the perspective of morphological annotation, although some category shifts can be problematic (e.g., the conjunction [hí]na ‘in order that’ which later develops into a particle). For instance, when does (hí)na shift from a complementizer to a particle? In some contexts, both annotations of (hí)na (as an early complementizer and as a modern particle) would be possible. But outside of such categorization issues, there is practically never doubts about the morphological annotation of later texts added to the PROIEL corpus.
