Dear group,
We all know about the frequncy lists for vocabulary, i.e. lemmas listed in order of frequency from high to low (et shows up in the top 3 almost every time!). I have also compiled morphological frequncy lists (that’s how i found out that the accusative is more common in text occurence than the nominative!). Now that there are treebanks generated for so much of Latin, there should also be a statistical freuency list of syntax structures, i.e. objective infinitive, ablative absolute, dative of purpose, final clauses. Has anyone ever come across such a list? I think that would be valuable to have for teaching purposes for sure!

PS: just having a LIST (without frequencies) of all syntactical structures would be a great starting point if anyone has such a thing..
