DESCRIPTION
The objective of project VAPOR (Variedades Africanas do Português), which started in September 2008, is to collect and treat spoken data from L1 and L2 Portuguese spoken in African countries where Portuguese is the official language and aims to create searchable in on-line linguistic corpora. In this sense, VAPOR can be considered the continuation of previous CLUL projects, in particular Corpus África.
