Network theory provides a suitable framework to model the structure of languages as complex systems with deep relations between their components. Based on a network automatically built from a Latin dependency treebank that includes works of Thomas Aquinas, this paper applies methods for network analysis to show the key role of the verb sum (to be) in the overall structure of the network.

Abstract
Network theory provides a suitable framework to model the structure of languages as complex systems with deep relations between their components. Based on a network automatically built from a Latin dependency treebank that includes works of Thomas Aquinas, this paper applies methods for network analysis to show the key role of the verb sum (to be) in the overall structure of the network. Further, the most frequent lemmas that stand either in the subject or in the nominal predicate relation with the lemma sum in the input data are reported and discussed.
