·         Usage practices of the users of electronic dictionaries

·         New approaches to dictionary writing (e.g. dictionaries created by users themselves, automatic extraction of dictionary information from the corpus)

·         Dictionary writing systems and other software available to the lexicographer

·         Integration of NLP tools (grammatical annotation, speech synthesis, etc.)

·         Automated customisation of dictionaries to users' needs and characteristics (proficiency level, mother tongue, etc.)

·         New reference tools with a dictionary element (e.g. learning tools, writing assistants)

·         Exploitation of language resources: monolingual and multilingual corpora, learner corpora, lexical databases (e.g. Wordnet, Framenet, DANTE)

·         Integration of electronic dictionaries into language learning and teaching (CALL, translator training, etc.)

Looking forward to seeing you in Tallinn.
