@inProceedings{holmer-etal-2024-time-341975, title = {Time to Say Goodbye Revisited – On the Exclusion of Headwords from the Swedish Academy Glossary (SAOL)}, abstract = { In the revision process of dictionaries, adding new headwords or new senses to already existing headwords is what typically receives the most attention. In this article, we bring into focus the intriguing dilemma of exclusion of headwords from the Swedish Academy Glossary (SAOL), which is still published in print versions. In the e-dictionary-era, removing headwords may seem questionable. SAOL is, however, a contemporary dictionary which aims to reflect present-day Swedish. In order to keep the lemma list up to date, new headwords are added and obsolete words are removed. The editors of SAOL have practised lemma exclusion in connection with the revisions of new editions for almost 150 years. In this paper, we present SAOL and argue that lemma exclusion is crucial to SAOL’s aim and target group. We also present our most recent corpus material, methods and tools included in this process.}, booktitle = {Despot, Kristina Štrkalj, Ostroški, Ana & Ivana, Anić (eds.).
