Abstract:

This volume presents new findings based on the analysis of spoken corpora in
thirteen different Afro-Asiatic languages – a unique endeavor in the domain of
lesser-described languages. It will be of interest to corpus linguists,
general linguists, typologists, and linguists specializing in Afro-Asiatic
languages. In addition to the rarity of corpus studies based on endangered and
lesser-described languages, the volume is remarkable due to its focus on the
role of prosody in interaction with several other phenomena, including
code-switching and borrowing. Phonology, syntax, and information structure are
explored, and the issue of the elaboration of strategies for the typological
comparison of corpora is addressed in several papers. The volume also contains
a presentation of software development conducted within the scope of the
CorpAfroAs project and based upon the widely used ELAN. The sound-indexed, and
morphosyntactically-annotated corpora, with their OLAC metadata and several
other deliverables can be accessed and searched at
