<div>I have used monolingual defining, but
another similar method I have used is to ask a speaker to make up
a sentence using a given word. I have been surprised that these
sentences sometimes reveal new vocabulary at a faster rate than
texts, and often vocabulary that one might not expect to find in
texts. It does depend on the speaker, however. Some speakers
only come up with very simple sentences.<br>

<div>Monolingual defining was a method much favoured by
the late Ken Hale as a way to generate more vocabulary

<div dir="ltr">Hi RNLD list,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm going to be working with speakers to
add words to an existing dictionary of some
2,800 headwords. I'd be interested to hear of
methods for finding new words that are not in
the dictionary that you may have found useful.
I know about Rapid Words collection (<a href="http://www.rapidwords.net/" target="_blank">http://www.rapidwords.net/</a>)
and Ron Moe's Dictionary Development Process. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd also like to generate a list of all
possible words given the phonotactics and
phonemic inventory, does anyone know of any
existing systems for doing that?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'l summarise responses if you want to
write to me off-list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nick</div>
