Beskrivelsessproget i Ordbog over Dansk Talesprog

Abstract

Over the past year, the research team behind Ordbog over Dansk Talesprog – a dictionary of spoken Danish – has launched a pilot project in the form of an online dictionary of interjections. We chose interjections since they constitute a central characteristic of spoken language. Further, we developed a list of semantic and interactional features to serve as a tool for consistent descriptions of interjections. This article outlines the theoretical basis that guided our development of the list of features, and describes how an editor uses the list to assign features to each lemma.
