<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
A four-day intensive course that offers professional lexicographers a unique
opportunity to consolidate their practical skills, while also developing
their understanding of the current theoretical issues. <br>
<br>
<b>Who is this course designed for?</b><br>
<br>
The course is aimed especially at people with a background in dictionary-editing,
whether monolingual or bilingual, and their managers. It has also much to
offer linguists / researchers working on computer lexicons. <br>
<br>
Recognising that professional lexicographers have little time in their busy
schedules for in-service training or background reading, one of the goals
of the course is to offer a rapid 'skills upgrade' in an intensive programme
of seminars and hands-on practical work. <br>
<br>
<b>What does the course cover?</b><br>
<br>
The following topics will be treated in depth:<br>
<br>
</font></small>
<ul>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">bilingual dictionaries
(types, functions, direction, source & target languages etc.)</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">steps in the production
of a bilingual dictionary entry</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">the organization and
structure of a bilingual dictionary</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">data analysis in source
and target languages, including the frame semantics approach</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">bilingual equivalence:
context-sensitive vs. context-free (or ‘lexicographic’)</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">handling various types
of equivalence in the bilingual dictionary</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">a new approach to
bilingual equivalence mapping</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">giving guidance to
the source-language-speaking dictionary user </font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">parallel corpora:
what they are and how they can contribute to bilingual lexicography</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">the workings of a
machine-translation system: a hands-on tutorial.</font></small></li>
</ul>
<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
<b>How is the course structured?</b><br>
<br>
The programme alternates between seminars and practical work at the computer,
with each delegate having access to her/his own machine.<br>
<br>
Key lexicographic issues will first be discussed in detail, and then further
explored through practical exercises in data analysis and entry building.<br>
