@inProceedings{skoldberg-2020-egennamnsanvandning-299385, 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}, booktitle = {Namn i skrift.
