	title        = {SVALex: a CEFR-graded lexical resource for Swedish foreign and second language learners.},
	abstract     = {The paper introduces SVALex, a lexical resource primarily aimed at learners and teachers of Swedish as a foreign and second language that describes the distribution of 15,681 words and expressions across the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The resource  is  based  on  a  corpus  of  coursebook  texts,  and  thus  describes  receptive  vocabulary  learners  are  exposed  to  during  reading activities, as opposed to productive vocabulary they use when speaking or writing. The paper describes the methodology applied to create the list and to estimate the frequency distribution. It also discusses some chracteristics of the resulting resource and compares it to other lexical resources for Swedish.  An interesting feature of this resource is the possibility to separate the wheat from the chaff, identifying the core vocabulary at each level, i.e.  vocabulary shared by several coursebook writers at each level, from peripheral vocabulary which
is used by the minority of the coursebook writers.},
