Meeting Description:

Lexicographers seek to multiply dictionaries on offer in order to include new languages or new vocabulary fields. At the same time, lexicographic critics challenge the feasibility of certain dictionaries, which fail to implement validated theoretical models.

The aim of the conference is the analysis of on-going lexicographic projects, to find answers to essential typological and linguistic issues, such as:

- What kind of typological/linguistic problems may compromise the development of lexicographic projects?
- How may dictionary typologies be adapted to different languages?
- How may new lexicographic projects profit from both the methods and/or the documentation work that was garnered by previous or unsuccessful projects?

Call for Papers:

Researchers are invited to submit proposals in any of the following domains:

1. Dictionary Typologies
- Identification of dictionary types that have never been developed for a given language or lexical domain
- Analysis of lexicographic models, particularly concerning linguistic and meta-linguistic issues, and the design or use of corpora

2. On-going Projects
- Description of problem-solving strategies, especially those that are related to corpora documentation, information technology and data presentation

3. Historical Lexicographic Studies
- Analysis of dictionary projects that were never completed or that remained unpublished, focusing on their typological properties, on the relevance of compiled data and on their exploitation as sources for new reference works

- Papers (25 minutes, including discussion)
