[Lexicog] Deadline extension: "Modern Lexicography" at PLM '07

[Piotr Banski]

Hello again,

This is to inform you that the deadline for abstract submission to the
"Modern Lexicography" session of the 38th Poznań Linguistic Meeting
(held on 13-16 September 2007 in Gniezno, Poland;
http://ifa.amu.edu.pl/plm/ ) has been extended to the 18th of May.


         Modern Lexicography -- call for papers

The Electronic Age has opened new perspectives to lexicography. With the
boom of corpus linguistics and the rapid development of NLP/language
engineering methods, lexicographers can take on tasks more diverse and
challenging than ever before.

The number and size of corpora grow, and that is accompanied by the
increase in the sophistication level of corpus tools, which results in
better morphological recognition and disambiguation as well as better
annotation formats and methods. Methods for establishing the reference
basis for specialised dictionaries get more refined and the annotation
layer goes beyond the classic morphosyntactic tagging: one can often
choose between syntactic, semantic and discourse annotations, and each
of them may become the subject of the lexicographer's interest. The
querying component of corpus tool suites is faster and allows for finer
distinctions and groupings, all of which reduces the tediousness and
increases the comfort of the lexicographer's job, making it easier for
them to concentrate on the scientific or methodological (rather than
technical) aspects of their work.

Lexicography shouldn't be understood as the art of explaining words by
words alone. Aspects of lexicography include e.g. composing dictionaries
of lexical frames, syntactic contexts or pronunciation patterns. The
creation of some of them in a serious shape has become possible only now.

Abstracts are solicited on everything pertaining to the modern methods,
tools, challenges, domains and results of mono-, bi- and multilingual
lexicography, with stress on the linguistic side of the enterprise: the
way in which the linguistic structure of whatever kind is fleshed out so
that it can be captured and described by the lexicographer as well as
the ways in which it can be presented to the end-user, whether a
learner, a translator, a scholar, or an average intellectual interested
in his/her language.
