	title        = {Folkmun.se: A Study of a User-Generated Dictionary of Swedish },
	abstract     = {This study examines the Swedish user-generated web dictionary Folkmun.se,
encompassing roughly 5,000 entries. Initially a general overview of the website is
presented, followed by an analysis of how the content of Folkmun.se has developed,
with particular focus on 190 usernames. The contributors can be grouped together
based on two distinct factors: 1) by number of contributions, and 2) by the kind of
words they prefer to submit. One conclusion of this study is that a great majority
of contributors only publish one or two entries. This entails that a large number
of users have contributed to the dictionary. Furthermore, a majority chooses to
focus on dialect words or slang words. Many of these entries are not represented
in traditional Swedish dictionaries. The advantages of having people of different
backgrounds and skills working with word collections are obvious, and their work is
an important, albeit often neglected, contribution to general linguistics.},

	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.},

	title        = {Egennamnsanvändning och representativitet i Svensk ordbok},
	abstract     = {This paper presents a study of the usage of proper names in general Swedish dictionaries.
The main focus is on proper names in Svensk ordbok utgiven av Svenska Akademien
(SO 2009) as a whole (i.e. as lemmas, in definitions, in language examples etc.).
I will discuss, among other things, the general principles concerning the prevalence
of proper names in the dictionary. Some of the topics that will be addressed are types
of proper names, where they appear and their representativity (e.g. concerning gender
and ethnicity). As a conclusory remark, I will discuss the possibility of including
proper names in the lemma list of the forthcoming revised edition of the dictionary,
scheduled to be published in 2021},
