Linguistic Field(s): Lexicography
Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2018
Meeting Description:
Lexicography is much more than simply compiling a
dictionary. The field brings together computational linguists, translators,
educators, software developers, technical companies, and publishers whose knowledge
and experience enrich our understanding of the intricate relationship between
dictionary and digitalisation. This has had a profound impact on dictionary in a
number of respects; for example, dictionary compilation process, integration of
corpus query tools, interoperability with natural language processing application,
methods of storing and transmitting information. In the 21st century, there is an
urgent call to evaluate new sources, materials, skills, platforms and objectives,
taking into account the past, present and future of lexicography. Innovation,
research and tradition should, now more than ever, share the spotlight in
lexicography studies and practice. Therefore, the 12th International Conference of
