At the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies (ILN) and the University of Oslo; the task of assembling a balanced corpus representing modern Norwegian Bokmål has reached a significant milestone. The Corpus for Bokmål Lexicography (LBK) now consists of more than 100;000;000 words. These documents have been selected based on a statistical analysis of reading habits in the general population of Norway. The documents have been subject to both manual bibliographic annotation; as well as automatic morphological annotation for each document. LBK will play a central part of a set of interconnected lexical resources; the aim of which is to provide an extensive documentation of Norwegian Bokmål that covers lexical and other linguistic/lexico-syntactic aspects. This paper presents LBK2013; a subset of LBK that we consider to be an accurate and comprehensive representation of modern written Norwegian Bokmål. A description of the corpus; as well as a number of related projects are described.
