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.
