[Lexicog] Lexicography Conf Thailand May 2004

[Brian Migliazza]

Dear Everyone on this list,

As a follow-up from Wayne Lehman's kind posting of this announcement, below
is some further information. The Linguistics Department at Payap University
(Chiangmai, Thailand) is hosting a "Lexicography Conference" in May 2004,
just after the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society meeting. Contact persons
are Brian Migliazza, Kirk Person, and Doug Trick. Most of the presentations
will probably be on Southeast Asian lexicography projects, but we are open
to other dictionary projects and also to general presentations on
lexicography theory. Please let me know if you would like to attend.
