This article is concerned with the choice of a corpus to be used as the empirical basis of a bilingual, bidirectional and conceptual learner dictionary of German and Spanish. Several standard corpora as well as web corpora for German and Spanish will be compared with respect to their size, the variety of genres they contain, the time span and geographical areas covered and what kind of search facilities they allow (e.g. word queries based on lemmata rather than on word forms). It will be argued that, when standard corpora fail to meet a particular requirement, web data may provide a useful alternative for lexicographical purposes provided they are both linguistically (i.e. morpho-syntactically) and meta-linguistically tagged.
