Lexikon för ett skriftlöst språk
(2023) In Nordiske studier i leksikografi 16. p.375-387- Abstract
- In this article I discuss problems related to the compilation of dictionaries for understudied languages that do not have a generally accepted written form. This task is in most cases undertaken by linguists with the purpose of describing and analyzing a
language or by missionaries whose ultimate goal is to translate the Bible or other holy scriptures. As a case study, the structure of two different versions of a dictionary for Kammu, a minority language in Northern Laos, is described. One dictionary is primarily intended for linguists and other researchers, and the other one for the speakers of the language.
