Introduction

CALLHOME German Lexicon was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 318,809 German words with morphological, phonological, stress and frequency information. The words in the lexicon were derived from the CELEX German lexicon (CELEX2 (LDC96L14)) and from 100 training and development transcripts representing unscripted telephone conversations between native German speakers contained in CALLHOME German Transcripts (LDC97T15).

The CALLHOME series consists of telephone conversations, transcripts and lexicons developed by LDC and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in support of research in speaker identification, language identification and related technologies. Languages in the series include American English, Egyptian Arabic, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.

Data

The lexicon contains seven tab-separated information fields: (1) headword: orthographic form; (2) morph: morphological analysis of the headword; (3) pron: pronunciation of the headword; (4) stress: primary stress information of the word; (5) celex: whether the headword appears in the CELEX German lexicon; (6) train_freq: frequency of the headword in the CALLHOME training transcripts; (7) dev_freq: frequency of the headword in the CALLHOME development transcripts.

Corresponding transcripts (LDC97T15) and the telephone speech dataset (LDC97S43) are available separately.
