Meeting Description:

The workshop ‘Linking Lexicographic and Language Learning Resources’
(4LR) will be held in conjunction with LDK 2023 – 4th conference on
Language, Data and Knowledge [http://2023.ldk-conf.org/]– at the
University of Vienna, Austria, on September 13, in hybrid mode.
The aim of this workshop is to explore linguistic linked (open) data
and knowledge management methods and technologies for linking
lexicographic and language learning resources, tools and applications
in general and dictionaries and CEFR lists in particular.

2nd Call for Papers:

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (deadline May 19th)
Workshop website: https://lexicala.com/4lr/

Our starting point is, on the one hand, enhancing CEFR-graded language
proficiency lists with lexicographic content and, on the other hand,
incorporating CEFR labels in learner’s dictionaries. CEFR – the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages – is a generally
established international standard for describing language
proficiency, and CEFR-graded resources have been developed for many
languages in Europe. However, incorporating their information is still
not a common practice in modern lexicography for most languages,
except for notably two English dictionaries for advanced learners
(Cambridge and Oxford). There are substantial unsolved issues, such as
inconsistencies in vocabulary size per level between languages; no, or
limited, sense disambiguation in CEFR resources; words from a higher
CEFR level in definitions and example sentences. Moreover, there has
been limited collaboration and interoperability so far among the
related fields of lexicography, language acquisition, and linguistic
linked data, whether regarding research, development, or practical
application.

This workshop is supported by the NexusLinguarum COST Action CA18209 –
European network for Web-centred linguistic data science
[https://nexuslinguarum.eu/].

TOPICS
4LR will feature an overview by the organizers as well as an invited
talk by Jorge Gracia from University of Zaragoza and chair of
NexusLinguarum CA on Linked Data for Lexicographic Resources.
In addition, we invite submissions for papers (20 minutes, plus
discussion) on the following topics:

- Linking lexicographic content to CEFR-graded vocabularies
- Pedagogical lexicography and knowledge graphs
- Attributing CEFR labels in learner’s dictionaries

resources
- Creating and linking crosslingual concept-based CEFR resources
- Multilingual knowledge management and language learning applications
and tools
