Inför revideringen av SAOB. Fackspråk och fackspråksbeteckningar i går, i dag och i morgon

Resumé

In this article we examine technical language in the Swedish Academy’s dictionary (SAOB). How is the description carried out today and how has it been done over the years? A proposal is presented for how the description should be accomplished in a revised edition of the dictionary, here called SAOB2. A major restriction on the use of technical language labels is proposed.
