Word list
Word lists can serve various purposes: when regional varieties of a language need to be accommodated, a word list can be created featuring the words that are required for specific varieties of a language. They can also be incorporated into computer applications of an instrument. Word lists can also be a useful resource for interviewers. They cannot, however, address challenges faced when regional varieties differ in more radical and structural ways from one another. They can also serve similar functions as a glossary.
