The Society for Danish Language and Literature (Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab, DSL) is an independent institution supported by the Danish Ministry of Culture, the Carlsberg Foundation, and a series of other foundations. DSL is charged with publishing and documenting Danish language and literature from the earliest times to the present day. The aims of DSL are to edit and publish works from all periods of Danish literature, bibliographies as well as documents regarding Danish history written before the year 1450. Furthermore DSL edits and publishes a large number of scholarly dictionaries as well as lexicons for NLP, and builds text corpora and other electronic language resources, e.g. as resources for dictionary-making.
