Led by Adam Kilgarriff and Michael Rundell of the Lexicography

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 *
writing dictionary entries
*          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 six years Lexicom has attracted 200 participants from 28
countries including lexicographers, computational linguists, professors,
research students, translators, terminologists, and editors, managers 
and technical support staff from dictionary publishers and information
management companies.

The venue, HKUST, is beautifully situated on Clearwater Bay in Kowloon, 
only 30 minutes from central Hong Kong.
