Et arkiv over forandringer i moderne norsk ordforråd og dets betydning for norsk leksikografi
Since 1968 a project for registrating lexical changes in Norwegian has been going on at the Section of Lexicography, University of Oslo. The number of excerpts is now about half a million, covering new words, new meanings of words, new phraseology and various characteristic lexical features in modem Norwegian. The greatest part of the material is computerized, and each excerpt is provided with a code which gives information about word class, gender and various lexical and syntactic features. The topic of this paper is furthermore what the material has been used for, particularly its importance for dictionary making in Norway the last 20 years, and finally how useful material of this kind is in dictionary making
Tanums store rettskrivningsordbok – det norske bokmålets fasit
The authoritative spelling dictionary of Norwegian Bokmål has for 75 years been Tanums store rettskrivningsordbok. The manuscript has recently been converted into a simple, but well tagged database. Redesigned digital and printed versions are planned for 2014. The flexible spelling system of Norwegian Bokmål will be clearly visible in the new user interface, with full documentation of the variant form and inflection systems, and with numerous cross-references. The publication might inspire the Language Council of Norway to reconsider some peculiarities of the standardized Bokmål. The editors of the Tanum dictionary also invite interested parties to a discussion about the selection of lemmas in a modern and comprehensive spelling dictionary of a language where new compounds emerge every day
