- SAOL Plus – a new Swedish electronic dictionary System requirements: Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista In September 2007, a CD version of the Swedish Academy Glossary (SAOL) was released, SAOL Plus, which includes all used inflected forms and an advanced Fuzzy Search option, based on pronunciation. The printed version has loong been considered the (unofficial) norm for spelling, inflection and pronunciation of Swedish. It is not a traditional dictionary with complete definitions, although many lemmas are defined or commented. It contains 125 000 lemmas, which is about twice as many as other Swedish monolingual dictionaries. SAOL Plus has the standard search functions, as well as more advanced search options due to the electronic format, such as article search and truncation search. It contains more inflected forms in number and detail than the printed version, and these are shown in full text and made searchable. Thanks to its built-in tool for Fuzzy Search, SAOL Plus is very useful for people with reading and writing disorders, as well as for those for whom Swedish is a second language. SAOL Plus can be an asset for the public as well as for linguists, teachers etc. SMDB, the Swedish Morphological Database, contains all lemmas from SAOL and their inflected forms, morpho-syntactically tagged. However, the database is constructed from all theoretically possible inflections of the lemmas. Some inflections are not grammatically correct or generally accepted, and therefore it has been necessary to extract the semantically plausible forms. Via a tag program connected to a 200 million word corpus, frequency of occurrence of specific word forms can easily be extracted. One challenge has been to scrutinize one million word forms in order to decide which forms should be presented on the cd. SAOL Plus has a tool called Fuzzy Search, which efficiently handles misspelling. This helps the user get to the target word, even if the user doesn’t know how it is spelled. The module for handling misspelling is based on both pronunciation and transposition of letters. The Fuzzy Search can easily be used as a spell-checker together with Word. To the best of our knowledge, this fuzzy search (and spell-checker) based on pronunciation, has few equivalents in its field.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Internet media gives access to a large number of actual users in more or less real user situations. One year ago I studied the log files from one of the free electronic learner dictionaries in Lexin online (dictionaries for immigrants); the monolingual Svenska ord. The log file analysis has now been followed up by a web questionnaire about the users of the very same dictionary. This article presents the result of the questionnaire where users were asked, firstly, basic questions of age, gender, native language etc. and, secondly, questions concerning their searches in the dictionary. Also, the article shortly discusses the conditions for future studies of dictionary users and dictionary usage.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The article presents the results of a log file analysis of the searches in Lexin Svenska ord, a free Swedish monolingual Internet dictionary. It focuses on the non-successful searches, called not-founds. The results show, firstly, that a considerable amount of the not-founds are correct spelled Swedish words, but they are not included in the lemma selection of the dictionary. Users also often search for two (or more) word expressions. Secondly, the dictionary’s programmed response in the case of not-founds gives far too many suggestions for it to be user-friendly; sometimes the user is given as many as forty suggestions on words that he or she could have been searching for. Thirdly, users tend to repeat their searches in order to obtain a successful search, for example they try another spelling. It is shown that log files can be a helpful tool in lexicographers work improving electronic as well as paperback dictionaries.
