Collocations in Swedish Dictionaries and Dictionary research.

Two investigations are undertaken in this study. First, the coverage of collocates of the (base) noun hopp (‘hope’) in Swedish dictionaries is studied. The dictionaries are of three kinds; specialized construction dictionaries, general defi ning dictionaries, and one bilingual dictionary. Second, the coverage in three of the dictionaries (one of each kind) of a sample of about 30 collocations is investigated. It turns out that the dictionaries, in general, demonstrate relatively good coverage. From some points of view, older Swedish dictionaries are better than recent corresponding ones. Further, it is generally held that, in dictionaries intended for text production, collocations should be treated in the base entries. This holds true in a majority of cases in the Swedish production dictionaries, but there are several exceptions. It seems reasonable to conclude that modern lexicographic collocation theory has not had enough impact on recent Swedish lexicography.
