Meeting Description:

The fifth international symposium on History of English Lexicography and
Lexicology (HEL-LEX5) will be held at the University of Zurich from 16 to 18
February 2017.

As with earlier conferences in this series we seek to bring together the
expertise of scholars and professional dictionary makers. This time, to mark
the 200th anniversary of Pierre Larousse and to celebrate other intellectuals
who, like Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, the Brothers Grimm, Niccolò Tommaseo,
or Émile Littré, combined lexicography, philology, editing, publishing,
writing poetry, essays or novels, and literary criticism in their prolific
careers, we invite interested scholars to submit papers that explore the
intersections of these fields of knowledge and labour.

Plenary Speakers:

''The whole heart-rending history in a single retrospective glance'': James
Henry’s words and Virgil’s words
Prof. Christopher Ricks, Boston University

''The proper History of such Art'': Ephraim Chambers and James Keir on
dictionaries
Dr. Roderick McConchie, independent scholar

Romantic lexicography
Prof. John Considine, University of Alberta

Exploring Lexicography, Dictionaries, and Dictionary Publishing as Cultural
Heritage and Cultural Memory
Dr. Amanda Laugesen, Australian National University, Australian National
Dictionary Centre

TBA

Venue: University of Zurich, central premises

Academic Sponsors:

English department, University of Zurich
Helsinki Society for Historical Lexicography

Papers on the following topics are particularly welcome:

- Lexicology and etymology
- Lexicography and dictionary making
- Historical lexical studies
- Encyclopaedic dictionaries
- Comparative studies of English and other national lexicographic traditions
- Poets and writers as encyclopaedists
- Poets and writers as generators of new lexis
- Lexicographers as poets and writers

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
