Bokmålsordboka og Nynorskordboka gjennom ein generasjon

Resumé

The standard one-volume monolingual dictionaries Bokmåls - ordboka and Nynorskordboka for the two official forms of Norwegian were launched in 1986. They were edited as a joint project of the Language Council of Norway and the University of Oslo. The focus is on both orthography and definitions. The dictionaries have been available on the web since 1994, and are now both linked to word banks with full forms of updated official orthography. The last years the website has been updated, and there has been technical and also lexicographic upgrade. During 2012 there were 70 million hits. Further technical and lexicographic revision ought to be done for both books.
