Brugen af et gammelislandsk tekstkorpus i leksikografisk arbejde

Abstract

In ths paper I give a short description of a project that I have been engaged in for the last few years. This is a corpus of Old Icelandic texts, and an analysis of the vocabu-lary of these texts. I will describe the corpus and a new concordance to the Icelandic Family Sagas, which is based on the corpus. I will also point out several problems which we are bound to encounter, if we try to make a lexicographic description which is exclusively based on this corpus.
