Funktionsteoretisk diskussion af brugerreaktioner på ordbogsartikler – med fokus på varemærker, omdiskuterede ord og eksempelsætninger

Abstract

This article serves two purposes: (1) to show that most lexicographical decisions are closely related to language policy (2) by discussing some well-known lexicographical topics from a functional perspective, including the treatment of trademarks, disputed words and usage examples in dictionaries. The article combines practical work and theory as all examples are based either on actual user reactions to entries in The Danish Internet Dictionaries or on the production of entries for these dictionaries.
