  With the development of big corpora of various periods, it becomes crucial to
standardise linguistic annotation (e.g. lemmas, POS tags, morphological
annotation) to increase the interoperability of the data produced, despite
diachronic variations. In the present paper, we describe both methodologically
(by proposing annotation principles) and technically (by creating the required
training data and the relevant models) the production of a linguistic tagger
for (early) modern French (16-18th c.), taking as much as possible into account
already existing standards for contemporary and, especially, medieval French.
