Verdonik & Sepesy Maucec 2017, Hansen & Hansen 2012, Siepmann 2015), traditional lexicographic work is mainly oriented towards the written language. In this paper, we describe a method we used to identify relevant headword candidates for a lexicographic resource for spoken language that is currently being developed at the Institute for the German Language (IDS, Mannheim). We describe the challenges of the headword selection for a dictionary of spoken language, and having made considerations regarding our headword concept, we present the corpus-based procedures that we used in order to facilitate the headword selection. After presenting the results regarding the selection of one-word lemmas, we discuss the opportunities and limitations of our approachengThis work is protected by the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/List of headwordsSpoken GermanCorpus-based methodsbook partopen access
