LexicoNordica
In 1994, the association began publishing a Nordic lexicographical journal, LexicoNordica. In addition to lexicographic contributions in the form of articles – partly related to a specific theme in each issue – workshop reports and announcements from the NFL, particular emphasis is placed on reviews and brief mentions of new dictionaries in the journal. The magazine is approx. 300-400 pages. LexicoNordica’s editorial staff expects that the journal will be able to contribute to a higher quality of reviews of Nordic dictionaries, to the benefit of lexicographers and the publishing industry. It is also worth emphasizing that many reviews have a theoretical value where lexicographical theories and issues are assessed in relation to concrete dictionary work.

Nordic lexicographical dictionary
The Nordic Lexicographic Dictionary (NLO) was published in May 1997. A working group within the NFL began work on it in 1992. The dictionary contains definitions of approximately 1,000 lexicographical terms. The dictionary is written in Norwegian, but all terms in the Norwegian lemma list have equivalents in Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Swedish, Nynorsk, English, French and German, and the book contains indexes for all these languages. Nordic lexicographical dictionary can be ordered from Rikke Hauge.
