[Corpora-List] foreign words in German

Hi Sven and Bea,
I was a bit astonished that you talk about the inavailability of "lists of foreign words" in German and decided to indicate at least some standard DICTIONARIES. I am not sure that this is what you are looking for, but for the sake of completeness some well-known resources should be mentioned:
The most common reference would probably be Duden's "Fremdwörterbuch", downloadable (for payment) here: http://www.duden-downloadshop.de/privatkunden/woerterbuecher.html.
I myself prefer Wahrig over Duden, so maybe it's reasonable to search for an electronic version of this dictionary: http://www.amazon.de/Wahrig-Fremdw%C3%B6rter-Lexikon-Renate-Wahrig-Burfeind/dp/342334136X.
Wikipedia has a list of Latin words in German, but it mixes "Lehn-" (loan words) and "Fremdwörter" and I also found some names in it (Amadeus, for example): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_lateinischer_Lehn-_und_Fremdw%C3%B6rter_im_Deutschen.
An obvious remark: Besides Latin and Greek sources, German also uses, of course, English, Slavic, French, Italian etc. words. Some of these words were included into the German lexicon a long time ago, others more recently. Some words were adapted to German language rules, others were not. Maybe it would be good to define your notion of "foreign words". Are those supposed to be words that are recognizeably foreign (= non-linguists can tell that they don't have a Germanic root)? Or do you want to go deeply into etymology? To me it seems reasonable to consider these aspects with respect to the task you want to accomplish when choosing a resource.

There's always this: http://services.langenscheidt.de/fremdwb/fremdwb.html
but it's an online service, not a complete list. Incidentally, I'm not
sure that "foreign words" is an accurate English translation of the
German "Fremdwoerter", since the latter are genuinely words in the
German language, except that they have non-Germanic (typically latinate)
etymology.

Subject: [Corpora-List] Programme for 'Theoretical-methodological
challenges in corpus approaches to discourse studies'
To: <corpora at uib.no>
On Saturday 5 November 2011 we will have the first event in the 'Corpus linguistics in the south' series. This will be a fairly informal discussion day on the theme of 'Theoretical-methodological challenges in corpus approaches to discourse studies'. Each talk will last about 30 minutes and then lead in to 15 minutes open discussion time and we will also end the day with an open discussion. More information is available from the www.port.ac.uk/cls and I have copied the programme below.
There is no charge as we want to make it as inclusive as possible, but if you are interested in coming could you please contact me at charlotte.taylor at port.ac.uk

Geographical or spatial information is now included in most of
exchanged data. Sometimes, it is directly provided through metadata, but
it is very often hidden and it becomes crucial to automatically discover
it.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Data Mining communities have thus
merged their efforts in order to extract geospatial information from
textual documents, web pages, field data, and so forth. In this way,
recent researches take into account the content of documents (e.g.
terms) to identify geospatial data or to predict its geographic
location.
Nevertheless, spatial information has some specificities that make
discovering spatial information and/or spatial correlations from large
amount of data still challenging. In this context, some proposals have
been focused on the formalization of geospatial concepts and
relationships, on the extraction of geospatial relations (e.g. rivers /
body of water, town / suburb) in free texts to offer to the database
community a unified framework for geodata discovery.
This workshop aims at discussing and assessing some of these
strategies, involving NLP or Data Mining techniques, covering all or
part of the issues mentioned above.
Topics of interest but not limited to:
- Geospatial information retrieval in documens
- Geospatial knowledge acquisition from documents
- Classification of geospatial documents
- Geospatial analysis of textual data
- Integration of geospatial documents
- Extraction of geospatial information from documents
- Geospatial theasurus/ontology building from documents
- Quality of extracted geospatial information
- Analysis and integration of geospatial data from web documents
- Visualization of geospatial information from documents
