pre-congress tutorials and specialized workshops, a book and software
exhibition, and social events for participants and their guests.

Papers, posters, and software demonstrations are invited on all topics
of lexicography, including, but not limited to, the following fields,
which are the main focus of the congress:
1. Computational Lexicography and Lexicology.
2. The Dictionary-Making Process.
3. Reports on Lexicographical and Lexicological Projects.
4. Bilingual Lexicography.

nonetheless and considered for presentation.

A book and software exhibition will be organised in the coffee break
area of the Congress site. Walk-up-and-use software demonstrations
(without presentation, not included in the Proceedings) may be given
there; however, participants should bring their own transportable PCs or
