    Dear all,

    over a week ago I asked for a German lemma list. I received a number of
    replies. From all suggestions made, the one of extracting a lemma list
    from the ispell word list won the race... because this was the easiest
    thing to do in the limited time we had.

    Let me briefly summarize the suggestions I received both on the list and
    in private (in no particular order):

    Annette Klosa offered a contract over academic use of the word list from
    the Elexico project which is based in frequency data from the German IDS
    corpora. http://www.elexiko.de/

    Lars Aronson was the one who suggested to use German spell checker
    dictionaries, namely those of ispell/aspell/myspell/hunspell.*

    René Witte suggested to have a look at the Durm Lemmatizer which
    apparently comes with a lexicon.*
    http://www.ipd.uni-karlsruhe.de/~durm/tm/lemma/

    Yannick Versley suggested to use the lexicon of the CDG parser.*
    http://nats-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/view/CDG/DownloadPage

    Peter Adolphs suggested to have a look at Morphy by Wolfgang Lezius
    which can export the lexical data it uses. http://www.wolfganglezius.de/

    [*]: Those are (part of) open source projects.

    Thank you very much for your assistance!

    Regards,

       Niels Ott
