0. Introduction

CorpAfroAs is a pilot corpus aiming at providing a structured database of spontaneous and

solicited recordings of AfroAsiatic languages, transcribed, translated, and annotated with a

view to allowing complex queries.

CorpAfroAs is organized along two axes, prosodic analysis, and morphosyntactic glossing.

The transcription, segmentation, and annotation of the corpus are linked to the nature of

the materials and to the aim of the project, which is typological comparability among

languages.

We annotated one hour per language: 20 minutes of conversation/dialogue when possible,

plus 40 minutes minimum of narratives/monologues (life stories, folktales…). The

minimal length of excerpts is 2 minutes (if possible).

1. Annotation structure

CorpAfroAs organizes its transcription and annotation set in six tiers, which follow the

reference tier: tx (phonetic transcription), mot (word transcription), mb (morphemic

parsing), ge (gloss), rx (other annotations) and ft (translation).
