The Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae (TLA) is an electronic corpus of texts written in Ancient Egyptian language (from about 2500 B.C. to 300 A.D). The TLA is today with actually about 800.000 text words the largest corpus of Egyptian texts available online. It is a lexicon based corpus - every word of the corpus is linked to a corresponding lemma in the electronic lexicon that comprises meanwhile 26.450 lemma entries with lexicographical description. The original intention of the project was mainly to create a considerably large corpus. The more the corpus grew larger the more it became obvious that it would be necessary to improve the analytical tools both for the corpus and the lexicon.
