Although German is not resourcepoor per se, Gurevych (2005) has observed that the German wordnet GermaNet (Kunze, 2004) (about 60,000 synsets) is less developed than the English WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998) (about 117,000 synsets) with respect to the coverage of lexical items and lexical semantic relations represented therein.
substantial raw corpora are available for the German language.
