Full Title: The Study of Lexicon across Identities and Genres 
Short Title: LEXIS 

Date: 11-Nov-2010 - 13-Nov-2010
Location: Verona, Italy 
Contact Person: Roberta Facchinetti
Meeting Email: lexis at ateneo.univr.it
Web Site: http://fermi.univr.it/lexis/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; Lexicography 

Call Deadline: 15-May-2010 

Meeting Description:

Research on dictionaries and foreign language textbooks generally focuses 
separately either on specialized textual genres or on cultural issues, 
whereas so far only few studies have joined the two aspects so as to focus 
on lexicon- be it general or specialized - from a cultural perspective. Yet all 
uses of a language, including those for special and teaching purposes, 
entail some cultural dimension. 

Hence, culture(s)-sensitive lexicographical tools are needed that enable 
speakers to achieve the necessary cultural knowledge (including the 
awareness of the diversities among cultural systems) to communicate 
successfully in international settings, even for specific and professional 
purposes- e.g., in domains such as business, institutional, legal, media, 
medical, political, or tourist discourse.

The conference, organized within the framework of the national research 
project 'Dictionaries, Language Materials and Words across Languages, 
Cultures and Ideologies', aims at shedding light on the relationship between 
lexicon and cultural heritage, focusing on dictionaries, glossaries and 
textbooks.

"Dictionaries, Language Materials and Words across Languages, Cultures

and cultural heritage, focusing on dictionaries, glossaries and textbooks.

and methodological issues concerning mainly:
-culture-bound terms in textbooks, dictionaries and glossaries, be they
monolingual, bilingual, multilingual, thesauri, visual and specialized 
dictionaries;

correspondence between different linguistic and cultural systems
-relationships between lexicon and culture particularly in the following
fields: business - law - media - medicine - politics and institutions - tourism
