All vår början bliver svår... På väg mot en färöisk-tysk ordbok

Abstract

The task of writing dictionaries in the Faroes is mostly one man’s work. The author deals with conditions, needs, concept, shape and some special problems concerning his work on a Faroese-German dictionary, which is mainly intended for upper secondary-school pupils. In order to write a useful dictionary during the 21/2 years he has at his disposition, he follows a frequency list of Faroese words which enables him to treat a lot of idioms that are connected with the most frequent words.
