Description
CORPAFROAS is a project funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (France), for 2006-2011, and coordinated by Amina Mettouchi at the University of Nantes. The three research units involved in the project are: LLING (University of Nantes); LLACAN (INALCO-CNRS); LACNAD-CREAM (INALCO). Several international researchers were associated to the project as well. CorpAfroAs is the first corpus of spoken Afroasiatic languages that presents sound-indexed data, with elaborate annotations. It is also unique in that it is freely accessible, and is 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 have worked on.
