TY - JOUR AU - Martola, Nina PY - 2007/01/01 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Angivelse av verbkonstruktioner i svenska ordböcker JF - Nordiske Studier i Leksikografi JA - NSL VL - 0 IS - 9 SE - Artikler DO - UR - https://tidsskrift.dk/nsil/article/view/19167 SP - AB - <p>In this study I analyze how verb valency is treated in five Swedish monolingual dictionaries<br />with the preposition åt (‘to; for; at’) as example. I also look at the presentation of<br />phrasal verbs with åt. Initially I examine how prepositional particles are classified as lemmas,<br />and I can establish that in most dictionaries they are looked upon as adverbs.<br />As to the valency information the differences between the dictionaries are considerable,<br />but in general one can say that the larger dictionaries, not unexpectedly, cover<br />verb valencies better than the shorter ones. The larger dictionaries also give more explicit<br />information while the shorter dictionaries give valency information only in the form of<br />(causal) examples.<br />The most problematic items are the phrasal verbs. In two of the analyzed dictionaries<br />the treatment is good, though. The phrasal verbs are given as sublemmas after the verb<br />entry with their own descriptions. The other three dictionaries subsume phrasal verbs in<br />the verb article, and it is not always clear whether åt is a valency preposition or a particle<br />in the given examples. One of the dictionaries even mix prepositions and particles in the<br />formal constructional information.</p> ER -
