Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate the usefulness of Eugen Coşeriu’s Structural Semantics for research into the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas. The first part explains the stages of development of the Index Thomisticus, up to its semantic annotation. The second part sets out the requirements for this annotation, proposing to use the divisions of being expounded by Aquinas. The third part presents the proposal to analyze these divisions by applying Eugen Coşeriu’s Structural Semantics. The fourth part demonstrates the effectiveness of this strategy by analyzing the distinction between the transcendentals of being in De veritate q. 1, a. 1. The fifth part proposes a method to use structural semantic analysis for the development of the Index Thomisticus database. The sixth part presents an example of its possible use in its query engine’s user interface. Finally, the conclusions summarize the main theses, arguments, and proposals of the article.
