Contemporary Amharic Corpus: Automatically Morpho-Syntactically Tagged Amharic Corpus
We introduced the contemporary Amharic corpus, which is automatically tagged for morpho-syntactic information.

Since it is partly a web corpus, we made some automatic spelling error correction. We have also modified the existing morphological analyzer, HornMorpho, to use it for the automatic tagging.
