>CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
>AND
>CALL FOR PAPERS, Second Circular
>
>First organized at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1997
>during an international conference on dictionaries and lexicography,
>ASIALEX had its first biennial conference at Guangdong University of
>Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, in 1999, with some two hundred scholars
>attending from a dozen countries of Asia and Europe.
>The second ASIALEX conference will be hosted by the Center for Linguistic
>Informatics Research (formerly, Lexicographical Center) of Yonsei
>University from August 8 to 10, 2001. Prof. Sangsup Lee, current President
>of the Association, is Director of the Center.
>The general theme of the ASIALEX 2001 Conference is "Asian Bilingualism
>and the Dictionary." The organizing committee believe that bilingualism
>and the dictionary have special aspects in the Asian context, a subject
>that has not received sufficient consideration so far and whose
>significance is growing very fast in this age of accelerated
>cross-cultural, informatic contact between the peoples of Asia and the
>rest of the world.
>However, we welcome practically all topics related to the dictionary.
>Following is a list of topics we consider to be relevant. Since this is
>not exhaustive, other topics may be added.
>
>   1. Corpus Linguistics, Lexicology, Lexicography
>   2. Computational Lexicography
>   3. Lexicographical Processes and Methods
>   4. Language Education and Dictionary
>   5. Terminography
>   6. Lexicographical Problems in Asian Bilingualism
>
>Renowned scholars and lexicographers, including Patrick Hanks and Murata
>Minoru, will speak at plenary sessions. Languages to be used will be
>Korean and English.

>from the main international airport of the Asian country where the holder
>resides, to Seoul; the ticket must be an economy class discount via the
>shortest route. They also will be provided with free accommodation
>(breakfast inclusive) at one of our guesthouses on campus and decent
>amount of per diem.
>Applicants are asked to present their papers at one of the sessions during
>the conference. So we hope them to read carefully and act up to the
