CORPAFROAS is
a project funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (France), for
2006-2010. It is a unique endeavor, in that it will provide the first corpus of
Afroasiatic languages that will present sound-indexed data, with elaborate
annotations. It is also unique in that it will be freely accessible, and will be
accompanied by software, tools, and publications that will make it easier for
field linguists to contribute to CORPAFROAS, or compile their own corpus,
without having to go through the complex preparatory theoretical and technical
procedures that we are working on.
