	title        = {Beskriva utan att diskriminera. Representation av könsidentitet och sexuell läggning i Svensk ordbok},
	abstract     = {The purpose of the paper is to present and discuss the treatment
of controversial words in the development of a new edition of the
Swedish monolingual dictionary Svensk ordbok utgiven av Svenska
Akademien (SO), which is expected to be published in 2021. The
focus of the article is on the semantic fields of sexual orientation
and gender identity, and the challenges met in the process of developing
a non-discriminatory and descriptively adequate resource.
A more inclusive and updated lemma list is put forward, as well as
revisions of definitions and linguistic examples. The article discusses
usage labels of negatively charged words and explores the role of
links to promote non-discriminatory word choices. Furthermore,
methodological questions are raised, and the role of corpora and
other sources of data is discussed.},

	abstract     = {The overall theme of this paper is the balance between descriptive adequacy and discrimination in dictionaries. More specifically, the purpose is to describe the process of revising dictionary articles related to the grounds of discrimination in the forthcoming edition of the  Swedish  monolingual  dictionary  Svensk  ordbok utgiven  av  Svenska  Akademien  [The Contemporary  Dictionary  of  the  Swedish  Academy], which is expected to be published in 2020. The focus of the article is on the semantic fields related to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age. Updates of the lemma list, based on a more  diverse  data  set,  are  presented.  Furthermore,revisions of definitions and linguistic examples,  motivated  by  the  new  data  and  principles of inclusion,are shown. We also discuss usage labels of negatively charged words and explore cross-references and their role in facilitating non-discriminatory word choices. Moreover, methodological questions are raised, and the role of corpora and other data gathering methods are considered.},
