Meeting Description:

The XXI EURALEX International Congress will be held between 8-12
October 2024 in Cavtat, Croatia.

The Congress will be organized by the Institute for the Croatian
Language and will take place at the Hotel Croatia, Cavtat.
With its motto Lexicography and Semantics the conference aims to bring
together professional lexicographers, linguists, publishers,
researchers, software developers, and anyone interested in
dictionaries and their educational, cultural, political, and social
impact on everyday life.
The topic of the 21st EURALEX International Congress is Lexicography
and Semantics.
Lexicography and semantics, particularly lexical semantics, share a
deep connection, as the accurate representation of meaning is a
fundamental aspect of both disciplines. The intersection of
lexicography and semantics is a fertile ground for exploring how words
convey meaning and how meaning is structured in language. Over the
past century and a half, various significant theoretical approaches to
understanding word meaning have left their mark on the field of
lexicography. Notably, the influence of semantic theories on
lexicography and the compilation of digital lexical resources has
become particularly prominent with the rise of cognitive semantics,
and more specifically, the advent of frame semantics, which has played
a pivotal role in enhancing the way lexicographers analyze and
describe word meanings, resulting in more comprehensive lexical
resources. These resources include traditional dictionaries, thesauri,
and linguistic corpora, but also extend to more specialized databases,
ontologies, word embeddings, and semantic networks. This remarkable
range of lexical resources has had a profound impact on the field of
semantics, stimulating new lines of research and enriching our
understanding of how language works. These resources have found
applications beyond these two linguistic fields: They are used in
fields like information retrieval, sentiment analysis, machine
translation, and large language models development, demonstrating the
practical relevance of the synergy between lexicography and semantics.
This conference aims to foster discussions, share research findings,
and promote collaboration within the fields of lexicography and
semantics, with a particular focus on cognitive approaches and their
applications.
The conference will be organized as a hybrid event and while we
encourage everyone to participate on-site, we plan to provide live
streaming and recording of the event for registered participants.
Please note that the authors are expected to present on-site though.
