The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

University or Organization: Butler Hill Group
Rank of Job: Rank Open
Specialty Areas: Lexicography
Required Language(s): Norwegian, Bokmaal (Code = NRR)


Description:

We are seeking a linguist or lexicographer, with native abilities in
Bokmaal Norwegian, strong computer skills, fluency in written English,
and a detail-oriented personality, to work on an evaluation of a
lexicon in Bokmaal Norwegian. We estimate the work at approximately
40-60 hours. We have a detailed template of evaluation tasks
(e.g. generate a test set of 25 foreign words commonly used in
Norwegian, and check them against the lexicon to see if they are
present; if not, determine if omissions are 'one-off' errors or
constitute a pattern). There are approximately 25 such tasks,
including coverage of such areas as specialized technical vocabulary,
neologisms, potentially offensive words, compounds, inflected forms,
etc. The results are to be written up into a report in English. In
addition, we'll require a summary of the work in a few different
formats.

Compensation is at a professional level.

The format of the lexicon is an Access database. The ideal candidate
will have some experience with Access, but we do provide a little
guide that tells you what you need to know, if you are willing to
spend a little time learning to write queries. The work must be done
on a Windows PC with Access 97 or above, Excel, Word, and internet
access.

For more information, please send along a current resume, including a
phone number, to mco at butlerhill.com. Because this project will start
immediately, we prefer to handle general inquiries by phone.

US applicants must have current work visa.
