Replication data for: Metafor og metonymi: personkarakteriserende sammensatte substantiv i norsk

This is a database of Norwegian \"negative compounds\", i.e. compounds like drukkenbolt ‘drunkard’ and dustemikkel ‘stupid person’, which denote persons and involve (mostly) negative connotations. The data were extracted from three major dictionaries, viz. Bokmålsordboka, Nynorskordboka and Riksmålsordboken (Norsk Riksmålsordbok).
