The project Swedish Dialect Dictionary has been<br />in progress at the Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research in Uppsala since<br />2003. People interested in dialects constitute the target group and the dictionary will be published<br />in book form. A timescale of ten years and a limit of 1200 pages are some preliminary constraints.<br />The collections of dialect words at the Institute are considered a sufficient basis in spite of a<br />slightly uneven geographical distribution. Selection criteria are discussed, among others, that the<br />dialect words should be drawn from at least ten independent sources or derive from three provinces.<br />Besides the usual items of information on pronunciation, meaning etc., the microstructure<br />of the dictionary entries contains the geographical distribution of the occurrences. The need for<br />increased resources if the project is to be completed within the time stated is emphasised.</p> ER -
