[Lexicog] Euralex Congress Leeuwarden 2010 Call for Papers

[Anne Dykstra]

*European Association for Lexicography
*The EURALEX Congresses bring together professional lexicographers,
publishers, researchers, software developers, and others interested in
dictionaries of all types. The next Euralex Congress will be held in
Leeuwarden, The Netherlands from 6 - 10 July 2010. The programme will
include plenary lectures, parallel sessions on the topics listed below,
software demonstrations, pre-congress tutorials and specialized workshops, a
special session for students and work-in-progress, a book and software
exhibition, and social events for participants and their guests.

The 2010 conference will be hosted by the Fryske
Akademy<http://www.fryske-akademy.nl/fa/index/view?set_language=fy>(Frisian
Academy) in Leeuwarden, the capital of the Dutch bilingual Province
of Friesland. The Fryske Akademy does research on Frisian and Friesland.
Over the years the Fryske Akademy has published a wide range of Frisian
dictionaries. The Mercator Research
Centre<http://www.mercator-education.org/>at the Fryske Akademy
studies the position of lesser-used languages in
education, gives information on national and regional education systems and
provides the latest statistics regarding lesser-used languages in education
in the European Union. Frisian being a small non-state language, the
organising committee especially welcomes papers on any aspect of the
lexicography of non-state and lesser used languages.
* Call for Papers
*Papers, posters and software demonstrations are invited on all topics of
lexicography, including, but not limited to, the following fields, which are
the main focus of the congress:
Computational Lexicography and Lexicology
The Dictionary-Making Process
Reports on Lexicographical and Lexicological Projects
Bilingual Lexicography
Lexicography for Specialised Languages – Terminology and Terminography
Historical and Scholarly Lexicography and Etymology
Dictionary Use
Phraseology and Collocation
Lexicological Issues of Lexicographical Relevance
Lexicography of non-state and lesser used languages

The main topics are not meant to exclude any lexicographic topic. Papers,
posters and demonstrations that are relevant to the congress, but which do
not fit into any of the categories above, will be reviewed nonetheless and
considered for presentation.
* Submissions
*Submissions may be one of the following types: Contributed full papers,
Contributed short papers & project notes, Software demonstrations, Posters,
Student papers. All submissions will be evaluated anonymously by at least
two reviewers. The Scientific Committee will be aided in this task by a
panel of external referees. The programme will be selected by the programme
committee.
*
Contributed papers
*There are two types of contributed papers.
  Full papers should be timed for 30 minutes
  Short papers and project notes will be allowed 20 minutes

All contributed papers will be followed by a 10-minute discussion period.
* Software demonstrations
*We are particularly interested in well-prepared software demonstrations,
presentations of electronic dictionaries, corpora, tools, etc. These
demonstrations will be allowed a 30-minute time slot at the congress (they
may be presented more than once). Submissions proposing software
demonstrations should include a description of the functions, underlying
approach implementation of the software, possibly an indication of a URL,
and hardware/software requirements. Technical facilities will be available,
however, we would ask everyone submitting proposals to indicate well in
advance exactly what technical facilities they need.
