The paper presents technological foundations for an empirical study of Middle High German (MHG) syntax.We aim to analyze the diachronic changes of MHG syntax on the example of direct and indirect object alterations in the middle field.In the absence of syntactically annotated corpora, we provide a rule-based shallow parser and an enrichment pipeline with the purpose of quantitative evaluation of a qualitative hypothesis.We provide a publicaly available enrichment and annotation pipeline grounded.A technologically innovative aspect is the application of CoNLL-RDF and SPARQL Update for parsing.
