  abstract = {{Most dictionaries containing phraseological information are restricted
	to a synchronic perspective. Diachronic information on structural,
	semantic, and pragmatic change over time has to be reconstructed
	by a time-consuming consultation of various dictionaries providing
	only punctual insights. In the OLdPhras, project we construct an
	online dictionary for diachronic phraseology in German from ca. 1650
	to the present by combining dic- tionary exploration with corpus-based
	methods. This paper highlights some challenges we have met: How to
	select the â interestingâ phrasemes, i.e., those that underwent
	some change? How to deal with historical cor- pora? How to include
	different kinds of phraseme variation? We present a semi-automatic
	corpus-based approach for the investigation of phraseme development.
	We argue for a combination of dictionary exploration and corpus-based
	methods to provide reliable and extensive information about the diachronic
	development of German phrasemes.}},
