Meeting Description:

The aim of the African Association for Lexicography (AFRILEX) is the
promotion and co-ordination of the research, study and teaching of
lexicography by means of the publication of a journal and other
appropriate literature, and the organization of regular conferences
and seminars to provide an opportunity for an exchange of ideas and
for mutual stimulus to researchers and practitioners in the field of
lexicography.
The 28th International AFRILEX Conference will be held from 1 to 4
July 2024 at the University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. With
the advent of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence
(AI) that bring new challenges and new perspectives in knowledge
production, knowledge dissemination and knowledge storage, there seems
to be sufficient ground to reflect on the place and position of the
field of lexicography in these new developments. Hence, the main theme
of upcoming conference: “Lexicography: Beyond Dictionaries!”
Abstracts, not absolutely limited to the conference theme, on any
aspect of dictionary research, practical lexicography or terminology
are welcome. Abstracts from disciplines related to practical or
theoretical lexicography/terminology are also invited, but they should
have a demonstrable lexicographic focus. Abstracts from computational
linguistics, digital humanities, etc., with a lexicographic focus can
be submitted.
