The dictionary described here maps Standard German words to Swiss German pronunciations and spontaneous writings. It includes a total of 11'248 standard German words and their representations in six Swiss regional varieties: Zurich, Basel, Bern, Visp, and Stans. Each regional variety is represented in two ways: a) as it is pronounced (SAMPA annotation) and b) as it is typically written in a non-standard, spontaneous fashion. The non-standard writing is partly generated manually by native speakers and partly automatically (using character-level sequence-to-sequence methods).
This dictionary was compiled within a research service provided from the University Research Priority Program (URPP) ’Language and Space’ to the Swisscom Company. Contributors from the University were three students Raphael Tandler, Alina Mächler, Larissa Schmidt. They were under the supervision of Dr. Tanja Samardžić (Language and Space Lab, Text Group Leader). Collaborators from Swisscom AG were Lucy Linder, Sandra Djambazovska, Alexandros Lazaridis, supervised by Dr. Claudio Musat (Director of Research, Data, Analytics & AI).
