Conference paper (other academic/artistic)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.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A Swedish dialect dictionary ready to start. The project Swedish Dialect Dictionary has beenin progress at the Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research in Uppsala since2003. People interested in dialects constitute the target group and the dictionary will be publishedin book form. A timescale of ten years and a limit of 1200 pages are some preliminary constraints.The collections of dialect words at the Institute are considered a sufficient basis in spite of aslightly uneven geographical distribution. Selection criteria are discussed, among others, that thedialect words should be drawn from at least ten independent sources or derive from three provinces.Besides the usual items of information on pronunciation, meaning etc., the microstructureof the dictionary entries contains the geographical distribution of the occurrences. The need forincreased resources if the project is to be completed within the time stated is emphasised.
