Led by Adam Kilgarriff, Michael Rundell and (in Brno only) Sue Atkins of the
Lexicography MasterClass, this is an intensive five-day workshop, with
seminars on theoretical issues alternating with practical sessions at the
computer. There will be some parallel 'lexicographic' and 'computational'
sessions.



Topics to be covered include:

*          corpus creation

*          corpus analysis:

            o        software and corpus querying

            o        discovering word senses, recording contextual
information

*          preparing word sketches

*          writing entries for dictionaries and lexicons

*          dictionary databases and writing systems

*          using web data



Applications are invited from people with interests and experience in any of
these areas.

Over the last eight years Lexicom workshops (in Europe and in Asia) have
attracted 250 participants from 32 countries, including lexicographers,
computational linguists, professors, research students, translators,
terminologists, and editors, managers and technical support staff from
dictionary publishers and information-management companies.
