Description
CORPAFROAS is a project funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche
					(France), for 2006-2010, 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.
