In the three years that have passed since CHum published my first article on computing activity in language and literature research in Scandinavia, much has happened.' The most notable event was the International Conference on Computational Linguistics at Singa-Siby near Stockholm on 3-5 September, 1969. The conference was planned and administered by the Research Group for Quantitative Linguistics, Stockholm (also called the KVAL group). A report on the proceedings of the conference, with special reference to papers dealing with semantics, was published in CHum 4, iii (Jan. 1970). Another event worth mentioning was the publication in 1970 of the first Scandinavian book on current computer-based language and literature research. The book, Sprdklig databehandling. Datamaskinen i sprdkoch litteraturforskning, edited by Sture All6n and Jan Thavenius, contains contributions by eleven Swedish scholars presenting different applications of computer research.2 The work of the Research Group for Modern Swedish in Gothenburg has developed a great deal since 1968. The first part of a frequency dictionary of modern Swedish, Nusvensk frekvensordbok, is now completed and was published in 1970. This part, some 1,000 pages, contains an introduction by the leader of the project, Sture All6n. The group has also developed a new system for linguistic computer work called Sprdkdata, a name covering the programming systems used by the group, the storing of modern Swedish texts in machine-readable form, a series of dictionaries, and a word bank, all of which can be used by other scholars. A new series of publications of computer-based work in language and literature, called Data linguistics, has been initiated by the project. The above mentioned dictionary, Nusvensk frekvensordbok, I, is the first
