What does the dictionary contain?
In addition to the dictionary itself, the dictionary contains information about pronunciation, inflection, word class and translation. Most often, there are also grammar comments, explanations of words, style comments, factual information, grammatical constructions and language examples.
Keywords
The reference form normally consists of a single word but can also be a longer expression, especially in compound verbs (eg likes) and social words (eg general legal aid). Keywords consisting of compositions are divided by dashes. This marking is primarily to shorten the inflectional indication of the word and should not be seen as a fully completed division into compositional terms. The search words can be followed by an alternative form that usually has the same pronunciation but a different spelling, e.g. shawl or shawl. Note that pronunciation and inflection apply to the keyword rather than the alternative form.
Pronunciation
Lexin was originally developed for use in immigrant education, ie. of people who are going to learn Swedish. This means that pronunciation statements are only available for Swedish words.
Length
Long sound is denoted by colon immediately after the long sound, e.g. scale [²sk'al: a] and scale [²sk'a: la]
Quality
As for the vowels, the colon will also denote quality, e.g. mat [ma: t] and matt [mat:]
Word accent
Only grave accents are set. It is marked with a raised second in front of the word (see the examples under Length above). Grave accent is found in e.g. bùren (for carrying) while acute accent is found in the cage (for cages).
Print
Main pressure is marked by an apostrophe in front of the vowel in the stressed syllable, e.g. ABF [a: be: 'ef] and ide [²'i: de]. One-syllable words do not have such a pressure marking except in expressions with verbs + particles and reflexive verbs which are written together, e.g. likes [tyk: er'åm:] and gives himself [j'ersej]. Bit pressure in compositions can be read from the length marking. The last extended sound gets bit pressure, e.g. cast [²'u: tsla: gsrös: t].
The consonants
No special symbols are used for [tj], [sj] and [ng], e.g. twenty [²tj'u: ge] and [²sj'ung: a]. The supradental found in some dialects is marked with an underscore under the two segments, e.g. table [bo: r_d], child [ba: r_n], fort [for_t:] and thirst [tör_s: t].
The vowels
The different vocal sounds are shown in the examples:
[a:] - sa [sa:], sal [sa: l]
[a] - hall [ha: l], sagt [sak: t], ATM [bangkom'a: t]
[e:] - be [be:], vet [ve: t]
[e] - pass [pass'å:], vett [vet:], fäll [fel:]
[i:] - bi [bi:], sil [si: l]
[i] - sill [sil:], idÈ [id'e:]
[o:] - sol [so: l], ro [ro:]
[o] - rott [rot:], ost [os: t], motiv [mot'i: v]
[u:] - bu [bu:], lus [lu: s]
[u] - buss [bus:], mustache [must'a: sj]
[y:] - by [by:], syl [sy: l]
[y] - synonym [synonym], syll [syl:]
[å:] - gå [gå:], gås [gå: s]
[å] - gosse [²g'ås: e], gåt [gåt:], ombudsman [²'åm: bu: dsman:]
[ä:] - fä [fä:], seal [sä: l], bear [bä: r]
[ä] - märr [mär:], herre [²h'är: e]
[ö:] - snö [snö:], söt [sö: t], snör [snö: r]
[ö] - lice [loose:], first [for_s: t], distribute [for_d'e: la]
Diphthongs
Diphthongs are marked with an underscore between the two vowel signs, e.g. automaton [a_otom'a: t]
Word inflection
The inflectional forms of inflected words are printed in their entirety. An exception is such compositions where the joints are separated by a vertical line - in such cases only the curvature of the suffix is ​​reproduced, e.g. karens | time -time. Words within normally inflected word classes that for some reason lack inflection are marked with inflexible.
