Nordiska studier i lexikografi 16 rapporterar från den 16:e konferensen i lexikografi, som genomfördes i Lund 27–29 april 2022. Volymen innehåller 30 bidrag som bygger på inlägg från konferensen i form av plenarföreläsningar, sektionsföredrag och posterpresentationer. Artiklarna spänner innehållsligt över ett brett fält, men samtliga anlägger någon form av lexikografiskt perspektiv. Flera av dem anknyter till konferensens tema Lexikografiska utmaningar. Merparten av bidragen är författade på danska, norska eller svenska, men ett mindre antal är skrivna på engelska.

Effective writing is a crucial skill that requires not only the mastery of various sub-processes but
also deliberate orchestration of those sub-processes within the constraints of limited workingmemory
capacity. In practice, some of those sub-processes, such as transcription (spelling and
handwriting), need to be automatised to free up capacity for other processes. Unfortunately,
children who struggle with spelling rarely manage to fully automatise transcription. This often
has a negative impact both on their writing process and on the final text. One solution to this
problem could be to let them use speech-to-text (STT), because this would allow them to avoid
spelling by using their voice to create text. This thesis consists of four articles where I investigate whether, and if so how, composing by means of STT can facilitate writing for children (aged 10–13) with reading and writing difficulties.
I analyse both the composition processes and the final texts. I make comparisons both with
text production by means of a keyboard and with a reference group of children without difficulties.
In addition, I explore whether and how successful use of STT correlates with individual
linguistic and cognitive skills. Overall, my results suggest that STT can indeed facilitate some
aspects of writing for children with reading and writing difficulties, though not emphatically.
In my studies, the use of STT does not yield any improvements at group level in processes such
as meaning-related revisions or in assessed text quality. However, one important caveat is that
the participants received only a very short introduction to STT. In general, the ability to use
a new tool effectively is of course likely to improve with instruction and practice. Importantly,
my results do suggest that instruction in STT use in conjunction with writing processes such as
revising is crucial for successful usage of this tool.

Neutrala substantiv på -ande i text och ordbok

This thesis presents an examination of Swedish deverbal neutral nouns with the suffix
-ande in a corpus of texts from the 1900s and early 2000s, compared to the presentation
of these deverbal nouns in three modern, monolingual Swedish dictionaries. The aim of
this dual study is to situate the usage of -ande nouns within a lexicographical perspective.
In the corpus study, I examine deverbal nouns ending with -ande and their frequency
in several different genres, including news texts, academic texts, novels, and online blogs.
The most frequent -ande nouns (included in five different sub-corpora) are further examined
with regard to their semantics and contextual properties. The corpus study shows
that academic texts display the highest relative frequency of nouns ending in -ande and
blog texts the lowest frequency. The specialized corpus studies show that highly frequent
-ande-derivatives often display polysemy, and that they may be combined with several
different adjectives, depending on each sub-sense, respectively.
Regarding the dictionaries used in this study, I investigate deverbal neutral nouns
with the suffix -ande and their lexicographical realization on three structural levels: (i)
in the prefatory texts of each dictionary, (ii) in the set of headwords, and (iii) in the entry
texts. The dictionaries investigated are Bonniers svenska ordbok (BSO 2010), Svenska
Akademiens ordlista över svenska språket (SAOL 14, 2015), and Svensk ordbok utgiven
av Svenska Akademien (SO 2009). The results of this investigation show that SAOL 14
contains considerably more words ending with -ande in its list of headwords than the
other two dictionaries. BSO 2010 treats many of its headwords that end with -ande as
a kind of mixed category. The words are listed, but a semantic description is not always
provided. In contrast, SO 2009 lists a majority of the -ande derivatives in the article text
that accompanies the root verb.
The results from the combined investigations show that the most highly frequent
words display varied contexts in the corpora, something that is not always picked up by
the dictionaries. Another result is that polysemous -ande words, and -ande words that
form the basis of certain phrases, are to a great extent represented in the dictionaries.
In light of the corpus investigations, I argue that all three dictionaries could be more
consistent in their treatment of derived words. The semantic descriptions and the formal
and contextual descriptions presented in these dictionaries may also benefit from a more
‘usage-based’ revision. I also identify considerable differences between the print dictionaries
and the electronic versions produced by individual publishers.
