The 1st Multilinguality in the Lexicon Workshop took place in April
1996 as part of the AISB workshop series at Sussex, and brought
together researchers with a wide range of experiences in multilingual
lexicon development. This second MLL workshop will follow up on some
of the work presented there, as well as introducing other work on
