What do the dictionaries contain?

In addition to the headword itself, the dictionaries contain information about pronunciation, inflection, part of speech, and translation. There are often also grammar comments, word explanations, style comments, factual information, grammatical constructions, and language examples.

Headword
The headword normally consists of a single word but can also be a longer expression, especially in compound verbs (e.g. tycker om) and social science terms (e.g. allmän rättshjälp). Headwords consisting of compounds are separated by vertical bars. This marking is primarily intended to shorten the word's inflection indication and should not be seen as a fully implemented division into compound parts. Headwords can be followed by an alternative form that usually has the same pronunciation but a different spelling, e.g. sjal or schal. note that pronunciation and inflection apply to the headword rather than the alternative form.

Pronunciation
Lexin was originally developed for use in immigrant education, i.e. by people who are going to learn Swedish. This means that pronunciation indications are only available for Swedish words.

Length
Long sounds are indicated by a colon immediately after the long sound, e.g. skalla [²sk'al:a] and skala [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 accent is indicated. It is marked with a raised two in front of the word (see examples under Length above). Grave accent is found in e.g. bùren (to bära) while aCute accent is found in búren (to bur).

Stress
Main stress 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]. Monosyllabic words do not receive such a stress mark except in expressions with verb+particle and reflexive verbs that are written together, e.g. tittar på [tit:arp'å:] and ger sig [j'ersej]. Secondary stress in compounds can be read from the length mark. The last extended sound gets secondary stress, e.g. utslagsröst [²'u:tsla:gsrös:t].

The consonants
No special symbols are used for [tj], [sj] and [ng], e.g. tjugo [²tj'u:ge] and [²sj'ung:a]. The supradental found in some dialects is marked with an underscore under the two segments, e.g. bord [bo:r_d], barn [ba:r_n], fort [for_t:] and törst [tör_s:t].

The vowels
The different vowel sounds are shown in the examples:
[a:] - sa [sa:], sal [sa:l]
[a] - hall [ha:l], sagt [sak:t], bankomat [bangkom'a:t]
[e:] - be [be:], vet [ve:t]
[e] - bestå [best'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:], mustasch [must'a:sj]
[y:] - by [by:], syl [syl:]
[y] - synonym [synonym], syll [syl:]
[å:] - gå [gå:], gås [gå:s]
[å] - gosse [²g'ås:e], gått [gåt:], ombudsman [²'åm:bu:dsman:]
[ä:] - fä [fä:], säl [sä:l], bär [bä:r]
[ä] - märr [mär:], herre [²h'är:e]
[ö:] - snö [snö:], söt [sö:t], snör [snö:r]
[ö] - löss [lös:], först [för_s:t], fördela [för_d'e:la]
Diphthongs
Diphthongs are marked with an underscore between the two vowel characters, e.g. automat [a_otom'a:t]

Inflection
The inflectional forms of inflected words are written out in their entirety. An exception is such compounds where the parts are separated by a vertical bar - in such cases, only the inflection of the second part is reproduced, e.g. karens|tid -tiden. Words within normally inflected parts of speech that for some reason lack inflection are marked with invariable.
