Contemporary Amharic Corpus: Automatically Morpho-Syntactically Tagged Amharic Corpus

We introduce the contemporary Amharic corpus, which is automatically tagged for morphosyntactic information. Texts are collected from 25,199 documents from different domains and about 24 million orthographic words are tokenized. Since it is partly a web corpus, we made some automatic spelling error corrections. We have also modified the existing morphological analyzer, HornMorpho, to use it for automatic tagging.
