In this paper, the basic assumptions are presented against the background of the development of a corpus-based method to determine suitable headword candidates for the LeGeDe-prototype (LeGeDe= Lexik des gesprochenen Deutsch), a lexicographical resource on spoken German. In a first quantitatively oriented step, potential one-word headword candidates are identified with the help of frequency class comparisons from a corpus for spoken (FOLK) and a subset from a corpus for written German (DEREKO). Qualitative analyses based on a project-specifically defined sample of data from the FOLK corpus lead to multi-word headword candidates. The results of the qualitative analyses were also compared with the results of studies from the research literature as well as (quantitative-orientated) bi- and trigram analyses. In their multi-word form, these candidates are particularly characterized by the fact that they assume a very special interactional function in the (authentic) interaction and have to be described as a whole unit. The paper explains this combined procedure, which was extracted in the LeGeDe-project for the appointment of headword candidates.

The main aim of this contribution is to present the range of lexicographic information from LeGeDe, an electronic prototype for lexical and interactional features of spoken German. The focus lies on the detailed description of the different lexicographical information classes using illustrative examples and figures from the resource. In addition to highlighting the lexicographic microstructure and providing an overview of the outer texts and the multimedia information offer, the contribution also presents detailed background data on the conception of the LeGeDe resource. Innovative aspects and possible applications are outlined and forward-looking desiderata are offered.
