This is one of the basic goals of the project. The manual precisely describes the methodology of the dictionary compilation, technical procedures for the compilation and scientific background for resolving specific problems. The manual thus represents the foundation and basis for further work on the dictionary.

E.01 National awards
The exhibition in the National and University Library in Ljubljana has been so far the largest exhibition of grammar books and dictionaries from their beginnings to the modern day. In addition to recent works, more precious manuscript and book editions were put on display as well. The first part of the exhibition brought a historical overview of Slovenian grammar book writing and lexicography from their beginnings in the Middle Ages up to the latest works in the field. The second part, however, was a detailed presentation of the current situation in the field of grammar books and dictionaries – their print as well as electronic and internet versions. Individual sources were on display in their electronic versions, too. The exhibition provides the public with direct information about our project group’s work on the dictionary. The exhibition has now been on tour around Europe for two years.
F.28 Organising an exhibition
COBISS.SI-ID: 39588909Project group members regularly participated in different radio and television shows, in which we used insights gained in the project to answer everyday dilemmas and questions of Slovenian language users.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 42461997Slovar slovenskega knjižnega jezika 16. stoletja (SSKJ16) is an explanatory historical dictionary with elements of a translation and encyclopaedic dictionary. The explanations of lexemes’ meanings are clarified by non-grammar qualifiers (indicators) and non-grammar qualifying explanations; much like in the case of modern normative-explanation manuals, the qualifiers in historical dictionaries include common meaning-, expressive, social-, field/subject (terminological) and frequency qualifiers. A specialty is the so-called certainty qualifier (uncertain), which indicates in rare cases the uncertain definition of an entry’s meaning. Qualifying explanations are rather common in the SSKJ16, requiring classification into several groups.
