The lexicon consists of a list of 186.600 entries, including proper names, place names, no-native entries and abbreviations, with phonetic transcriptions, main stress markers and syllable boundary markers. Most of the entries were selected from the political and economical parts of two German newspapers namely the 'Süddeutsche Zeitung' (SZ) and the 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung' (FAZ). The transcription follows in most parts the so-called standard German pronunciation. Departures are described in the documentation. For some entries multiple pronunciations are taken into account especially in the case of homographs and abbreviations. The alphabet chosen is extended German SAM-PA, but it can easily be translated into other alphabets. The character set chosen is ISO-8859-1, a tool for conversion into LATEX is provided with the CD-ROM.
