Från dilation till uppskov. Var ordböcker viktiga i etableringen av ett juridiskt ordförråd?

Abstract

In this paper eight juridical words of Latin origin are examined in order to see if they are included in eight Swedish dictionaries published between 1712 and 1850. The purpose is to see to what extent the dictionaries apply to the general tendency of replacing Latin vocabulary with Swedish, and how this shows in the lexicographic structure.
