Målspråkets verbkonstruktioner i en tvåspråkig produktionsordbok

Resumé

The article is a presentation of how the grammatical information on verb phrases in
the target language is given in Finsk-svensk ordbok (Finnish-Swedish dictionary). In
the dictionary, the Swedish verbs that take complements (mostly transitive verbs) are
divided in four different types that are presented differently: verbs that take a direct
object, verbs that take a preposition object or another complement in form of a prepositional
phrase, verb-particle combinations and lexicalized phrases. The categories
preposition object and verb-particle combination do not exist in Finnish. The dictionary
user finds information on the correct preposition to be chosen and on the
pronunciation of the phrase (stress). Amore advanced user will also find information
on the syntactic behaviour of the phrase (possible movements).
