Sproget får vi i arv fra tidligere generationer. Det ændrer sig kun langsomt og er derfor fuldt af vidnesbyrd om ældre tiders opfattelser og syn på ver-den. Det gælder ikke mindst identitetspolitiske ...spørgsmål som forholdet mellem kønnene eller synet på de fremmede. I denne artikel ser jeg på hvordan Den Danske Ordbog forsøger at navigere mellem videnskabelighed, deskriptiv forpligtelse og et stigende krav om ligestilling og inklusion når de semantiske beskrivelser revideres og nye ord optages. Redegørelsen om-fatter både ordbogen og dens korpusmæssige beskrivelsesgrundlag, og hvor det er relevant, sammenlignes resultaterne med de tilsvarende for norske forhold.
This minireview provides an overview of the lexicographic situation in Denmark, introducing the most important dictionary works. The major historical dictionaries are mentioned but the main focus is ...on contemporary lexicography and the companies and institutions currently active in the field. In particular, it is noted whether dictionaries are digitally available and if they are subject to regular updating.
rispevek se osredotoča na preučitev razmerja med dnevniki iskanj uporabnikov po spletnem slovarju in korpusno pogostostjo besed. Študijo so spodbudila razmišljanja, ki so se porajala pri rednem ...slovarskem delu in jih lahko strnemo v vprašanje: kako ohranjati na korpusu temelječ slovar aktualen? Bi morala biti naslednja beseda, ki jo uvrstimo v slovar, tista, ki sledi zadnji uslovarjeni besedi na frekvenčnem seznamu besed iz korpusa? Ali bi morala biti to beseda, ki jo uporabniki najpogosteje neuspešno iščejo v slovarju? Da bi prišli do ustreznih kriterijev, so avtorji analizirali dnevnike iskanj uporabnikov danskega slovarja v obdobju od 2009 do 2012 in seznam najpogosteje iskanih besed primerjali z njihovo pogostostjo v korpusu. S proučitvijo iskalnih navad uporabnikov so avtorji želeli priti do odgovorov na sledeča vprašanja: Ali so v slovarju besede, ki jih uporabniki nikoli ne iščejo? Če je odgovor da, ali lahko na podlagi njihove pogostosti v korpusu opazimo kakšne smiselne vzorce – gre za besede iste besedne vrste, so besede zelo pogoste ali zelo redke, se pojavljajo v določenem frekvenčnem območju? Ugotovitev prispevka je, da je pogostost v korpusu dober kriterij za 20.000 najpogostejših iztočnic, medtem ko je treba pri manj pogostih besedah dodati še druge metode, med katerimi je tudi pregled iskanj uporabnikov, nadvse pomembna pa je tudi presoja leksikografov.
This paper is a contribution to the discussion on compiling computational lexical resources from conventional dictionaries. It describes the theoretical as well as practical problems that are ...encountered when reusing a conventional dictionary for compiling a lexical-semantic resource in terms of a wordnet. More specifically, it describes the methodological issues of compiling a wordnet for Danish, DanNet, from a monolingual basis, and not—as is often seen—by applying the translational expansion method with Princeton WordNet as the English source. Thus, we apply as our basis a large, corpus-based printed dictionary of modern Danish. Using this approach, we discuss the issues of readjusting inconsistent and/or underspecified hyponymy hierarchies taken from the conventional dictionary, sense distinctions as opposed to the synonym sets of wordnets, generating semantic wordnet relations on the basis of sense definitions, and finally, supplementing missing or implicit information.
Description of names in general language dictionaries has always been an area of dispute. A small survey of the most popular dictionaries in the Nordic countries shows that, with a few exceptions, ...the overall policy has been not to include names except where they are used metaphorically or in set phrases. However, since the main argument against inclusion is space-saving considerations dating from the paper era, maybe the time has come to attempt another approach. In this article we give an account of the aspects involved and suggest possible solutions if The Danish Dictionary should decide to include names on a larger scale.
