Glancing back, looking forward : The Swedish Academy Dictionary completed after 130 years – now time for revision

The first part of the first volume of the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was published in 1893 and the last volume was finished in 2023. Thus Sweden’s most extensive lexicographical project was completed after more than 130 years of work. But the completion is not the end of the dictionary project. Since 2024 a revision project is launched.

Figurative, Transferred or Extended use? : The Use of Semantic Labels in the First Edition and the Revised Version of the Swedish Academy Dictionary

In this paper, a doctoral study on the description of semantic change in the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) is presented. The starting point for the study is semantic labels like figurative and in extended use. Five such labels in SAOB are examined, mainly with methods from the cognitive linguistic framework. The results show, among other things, that the most labelled mechanism is metaphor, th

Report on the Revision of the Swedish Academy Dictionary – and the Search for “Old Neologisms”

In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish AcademyDictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work. The dictionary contains over 500,000 entries and describes the Swedish language from the 1520s to the present day. However, a consequence of the extended time of publication is that a significant part of the content, in particular in the first volumes, was out In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work.

Därför blomstrar det statslösa språket

Berättelsen om Katalonien har under senare år handlat om försöken att bryta sig loss från Spanien. Men vid sidan om de politiska slitningarna har regionens litteratur fått stort genomslag, inte minst genom den katalanskspråkiga författaren Irene Solà. Kanske närmar vi oss en ny renaixença?

Inget kan bota den kulturella melankolin

Henrik Brandão Jönsson blandar kulturhistoria, reseskildring, migrationsberättelse och självreflektion. Hans nya bok kretsar kring det djupt emotionella begreppet saudade. Christian Claesson läser en bok om att längta bort och hem samtidigt.

A summary of the environmental history of the Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, 11,300-7800 BP

A summary is presented of the Late Weichselian and early Holocene changes of vegetation, climate and sea level on the Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, as reflected in bio- and lithostratigraphic data from five sediment sequences. The period 11,300-10,900 BP was characterized by grass-tundra vegetation and low lake productivity, indicating cold climatic conditions. Milder conditions after 10,900

The Evolution and Delivery of Rocky Extra-Solar Materials to White Dwarfs

Understanding stellar evolution and its effect on planetary systems is crucial for correctly interpreting the chemical constraints of exo-planetary material that can be given to us by white dwarfs. This article will describe how asteroids, moons, and comets, as well as boulders, pebbles and dust, evolve into eventual targets for chemical spectroscopy, and how planets and companion stars play a vit

Building the social : A query into the social impact of the Pompeian water supply

This study explores the importance of the means of ensuring watersupply in the formation of the architectural profile and basic socialorganization of Pompeii. It sees the city’s domestic water supply, forover two centuries ensured through rainwater-harvesting areas, basinsand cisterns situated mainly in and below the many atria, as a stabilizingfactor of both cityscape and household.

Stable and Vulnerale Domains in Germanic Heritage Languages

This paper provides an overview of Germanic languages as heritage languages, i.e. languages acquired naturalistically by children in parts of the world where these languages are not the majority language. Summarizing research on different types of heritage speakers of Danish, German, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish, we identify certain stable and vulnerable domains. We focus on the so far best s

Why Language Matters : Inequality Perceptions among the Sámi in Sweden and Norway

Every two weeks, one of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages dies. Yet what are the consequences of having to give up one’s native language? Speakers of minority languages worldwide face barriers to using their languages outside their homes, often with negative consequences for educational and economic success. A new survey of the Indigenous Sámi in Sweden and Norway suggests that language polici

IntraJ: An On-Demand Framework for Intraprocedural Java Code Analysis

Static analysis tools play a crucial role in software development by detecting bugs and vulnerabilities. However, running these tools separately from the code editing process often causes developers to switch contexts, which can reduce productivity. Previous work has shown how Reference Attribute Grammars (RAGs) can be used for declarative implementation of competitive tooling for intraprocedural

Efficient Demand Evaluation of Fixed-Point Attributes Using Static Analysis (Artifact)

This is the software artifact for the paper "Efficient Demand Evaluation of Fixed-Point Attributes Using Static Analysis" published in SLE 2024.This artifact supports the evaluation of a new demand-driven algorithm for efficient circular Reference Attribute Grammar evaluation, specifically designed to improve performance of higly circular applications, e.g., dataflow analyses for Java. The artifac

Kontinuitet och förändring: Essäer om spårbundenhet i samhället

Samtiden tycks besatt av det ögonblickliga: I kultur, politik och samhällsdebatt överdrivs individuella prestationer och snabba, omvälvande händelser. Detta trots att samhällsvetenskapen sedan länge har understrukit betydelsen av historiska utvecklingslinjer, och gång på gång visat att beslut idag är starkt präglade av tidigare händelser. Med andra ord: att samhällsutvecklingen är spårbunden.I den
