LEXIN - lexikon för invandrare

Abstract

Bilingual dictionaries for immigrants have been produced in Sweden since the late seventies in the framework of the LEXIN project (LEXikon för INvandrare), funded by the Swedish government. The main features ofthis project are discussed together with problems connected with the use of Swedish as a common denominator of the bilingual dictionaries and the possibilities of "translating" the Swedish base into other Scandinavian languages.
