ANNOUNCEMENT<br>
AND<br>
CALL FOR PAPERS, Second Circular</font><br>
</b></div>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">First organized at Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology in 1997 during an international
conference on dictionaries and lexicography, ASIALEX had its first
biennial conference at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies,
Guangzhou, in 1999, with some two hundred scholars attending from a dozen
countries of Asia and Europe.<br>
The second ASIALEX conference will be hosted by the Center for Linguistic
Informatics Research (formerly, Lexicographical Center) of Yonsei
University from August 8 to 10, 2001. Prof. Sangsup Lee, current
President of the Association, is Director of the Center.</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">The general theme of the ASIALEX 2001
Conference is "<b>Asian Bilingualism and the Dictionary</b>."
The organizing committee believe that bilingualism and the dictionary
have special aspects in the Asian context, a subject that has not
received sufficient consideration so far and whose significance is
growing very fast in this age of accelerated cross-cultural, informatic
contact between the peoples of Asia and the rest of the world.<br>
However, we welcome practically all topics related to the dictionary.
Following is a list of topics we consider to be relevant. Since this is
not exhaustive, other topics may be added.<br>
<br>
1. Corpus Linguistics, Lexicology, Lexicography<br>
2. Computational Lexicography<br>
3. Lexicographical Processes and Methods<br>
4. Language Education and Dictionary<br>
5. Terminography<br>
6. Lexicographical Problems in Asian Bilingualism <br>
<br>
Renowned scholars and lexicographers, including Patrick Hanks and Murata
Minoru, will speak at plenary sessions. Languages to be used will be
Korean and English.<br>

=========================<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times">The Organizing Committee have
decided to offer a Grant to invite outstanding Asian scholars of
lexicography who might not otherwise be able and willing to attend the
conference. Although our budget is very limited, we hope to invite as
many excellent colleagues, from as wide a range of Asian regions and
countries as we can. The grant includes both airfare and accommodations.
<b>Grantholders will receive payment for a round-way ticket from the main
international airport of the Asian country where the holder resides, to
Seoul; the ticket must be an economy class discount via the shortest
route. They also will be provided with free accommodation (breakfast
inclusive) at one of our guesthouses on campus and decent amount of per
diem.</b></font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Applicants are asked to present their
papers at one of the sessions during the conference. So we hope them to
read carefully and act up to the procedures for participating in the
Conference as stated in the attached documents and the general
information about the Aisalex 2001 on its website,
