Scandinavian Lexicography

Nilsson, Pär LU (2026) 10. p.527-531
Abstract
The article presents the most important lexicographic resources and milieus in Scandinavia. Each section is dealing with both mono- and bilingual lexicography and puts emphasis on contemporary as well as historical dictionaries. The field of lexicography is old, which means that several dictionary projects were started (and completed) a long time ago. In several cases, such works have had been updated and revised. Important revision projects of this kind are also described in the article. In lexicography, a distinction is sometimes made between dictionaries aimed at humans and those intended for systems for natural language processing (NLP). This article focuses on lexicographic resources meant for people.
