@article{Bergenholtz_Norddahl_2012, title={Ordbogsartikler, som ingen læser}, url={https://tidsskrift.dk/lexn/article/view/18421}, abstractNote={<p>Lemma lacunas in dictionaries are a traditional focus area for lexicographers,<br />but the opposite problem, which we choose to call<br />“lemma flooding”, has received very little attention. In this article<br />we show that the study of this flooding is very relevant in order<br />to save lexicographers spending thousand of hours producing dictionary<br />entries which nobody reads. We examine nine possible reasons<br />why a given word might not be of interest to users and could<br />consequently be ignored in order to avoid lemma flooding. We demonstrate<br />that while it is not possible to completely avoid lemma<br />flooding, it can be reduced by implementing a relative simple rule.</p>}, number={19}, journal={LexicoNordica}, author={Bergenholtz, Henning and Norddahl, Bjarni}, year={2012}, month={jan.} }
