Aussprachevarianten des Deutschen : Überlegungen zur Gestaltung einer korpusbasierten Datenbank
(2003)
Variation in spoken Standard German as well as in various regional varieties of German has not yet been covered in full detail. This paper sketches a new research project concerned with the empirical analysis and systematic documentation of phonetic-phonological variability in spoken German. The aim of this project is to set up a corpus-based databank of pronunciation variants, which can be used for various purposes, e.g. by scholars and teachers of German as a foreign language.
