Description: nl-sl-Lex is a list of headword candidates that can be used as a basis to update the Dutch-Slovene Dictionary (Srebnik 2007). The list was extracted from the nlTenTen20 corpus (https://www.sketchengine.eu/nltenten-dutch-corpus/) using Sketch Engine (https://www.sketchengine.eu/) and custom Python scripts. For each part-of-speech (NOUN, VERB, ADJ, ADV; according to the Universal Dependencies POS-tagset: https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/), lists of up to 1,000 lexeme candidates beginning with each letter of the Dutch alphabet (only lower-case candidates were considered) were extracted from nlTenTen20 (along with their absolute and relative frequencies), then merged, sorted by frequency in descending order, and cross-compared with several existing resources: • the Dutch-Slovene Dictionary (Srebnik 2007) • the list of headwords from the Dictionary of Contemporary Dutch (Algemeen Nederlands Woordenboek - ANW; https://anw.ivdnt.org/lemmalist) • the list of 5,000 most frequent Dutch words (Tiberius & Schoonheim 2014) • two frequency lists for Dutch - 0-2000 & 2000-5000 by Hazenberg & Hulstijn (de Boer et al. 2012) Version 1.0 contains 60,777 candidates and was compiled as a starting point for an analysis of the Dutch-Slovene Dictionary in order to determine priorities for future dictionary updates and facilitate linking with other resources such as WordNets.
