pre-congress tutorials and specialized workshops, a book and software
exhibition, and social events for participants and their guests.

of lexicography, including, but not limited to, the following fields,
which are the main focus of the congress:
1. Computational Lexicography and Lexicology.
2. The Dictionary-Making Process.
3. Reports on Lexicographical and Lexicological Projects.

nonetheless and considered for presentation.

A book and software exhibition will be organised in the coffee break
area of the Congress site. Walk-up-and-use software demonstrations
(without presentation, not included in the Proceedings) may be given
there; however, participants should bring their own transportable PCs or
