Abstract

In its third stage, the project VerbaAlpina of Munich University investigates the vocabulary of ecology and tourism in the Alpine area. Since the existing linguistic atlases do not include this vocabulary, VerbaAlpina collects the lexical material using a special platform. This paper aims primarily at informing about the context of use and discussing achievements and limitations of this platform. It is addressed to researchers who wish to adopt the same data collection methods.
