Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The first section of The Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB), describing the Swedish language from 1521 to the present, was published already in 1893. When the dictionary is finished in a few years, it will comprise thirty-eight volumes. During this span of over 120 years, its level of ambition (and accordingly, its scope) has varied considerably. As shown in the paper, four periods can be distinguished: two periods (until c. 1920 and c. 1960–2002) when the ambition was to account for virtually all words and uses of words that were documented, and two periods (c. 1920–1960 and c. 2002 onwards) when quite strict rules of restriction steered the work. After summing up these rules, the paper gives examples of how the varying levels of ambition are reflected both in the selection of lemmas and in the (more or less exhaustive) way they are addressed.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the past two decades, the Swedish word stålbad – a compound word combining stål (steel) and bad (bath) – has frequently been used as a designation for and summary of a neoliberal economic policy. The article traces the semantic development of the word, with its roots in two disparate, literal meanings, both of which – at least partially based on the German Stahlbad – were established in the middle of the nineteenth century: the first is a medicinal, curative bath in iron saltwater (a chalybeate bath), the other is a metallurgical term of art (steel melt). Common to both oft hese meanings is the notion of a positive result, that something good is generated in the course of events, and this semantic component is also found in the different metaphorical usages. At the earliest stage, the metaphor stålbad had solely positive connotations in most cases: It was applied to experiences that were not only invigorating but also quite pleasant. However, the metaphor later developed – here too in line with the use in German – to exclusively designate different kinds of painful but supposedly hardening experiences, such as poverty, unemployment and, not least, war. More and more marginalized after the second world war, the current – and for Sweden unique –use of the metaphor was apparently triggered by a speech given by the Minister of Finance in 1989, where he in rather archaic terms connected the word stålbad with the threat of growing unemployment.
