The EURALEX Congresses bring together professional lexicographers,
publishers, researchers, scholars, and all others interested in
dictionaries
of all types. The programme will include plenary lectures, parallel
sessions
on the topics listed below, software demonstrations, a presidential
debate,
pre-congress tutorials and specialized workshops, a book and software
exhibition, and social events for participants and their guests.
Topics
Papers, posters, and demonstrations are invited on all topics of
lexicography, including, but not limited to, the following fields which
are
the main focus of the congress:
1. Computational lexicography and lexicology (N.B.: This is different
from, e.g. COLING or ACL, in the sense that EURALEX invites papers
on
lexicographically relevant computational work, rather than any or
all
computational linguistic topics relating to the lexicon.)
2. Lexical Combinatorics
3. Historical and Scholarly Lexicography
4. Bilingual Lexicography
5. The Dictionary-Making Process
6. Lexicography for Specialized Languages - Terminology and
Terminography
7. Reports on Lexicographical and Lexicological Projects
8. Other topics
The ninth congress will differ slightly from previous EURALEX congresses
in
that we particularly welcome papers on certain sub-topics of the above,
to
fit in with special sessions:
* Topic (1-A): Corpus lexicographic tools in industry and research
(needs, functions, architectures ...)
* Topic (1-B): Creating (sizeable) dictionaries for Natural Language
Processing (procedures, information types, use of published
dictionaries, projects ...)
* Topic (3-A): The creation of historical dictionaries (theoretical
and
practical problems, workflows, ongoing projects ...)
* Topic (4-A): User aspects of bilingual dictionaries (market
studies,
user behaviour, concepts and information programs for new bilingual
dictionaries, bilingual learners' dictionaries)
* Topic (5-A): Teaching dictionary making and lexicography (course
material, topics/theories and working methodology taught,
experience
from recent courses in industry and academia...)
* Topic (7-A): Internet Lexicography (concepts and design of
dictionaries
for the internet, quality control for lexicographical products on
the
internet, advantages and limitations of the new medium with respect
to
`traditional dictionaries')
The main topic indications are not meant to exclude any lexicographic
topic:
papers relevant to the congress but not fitting any of the categories
1-7
will be reviewed nonetheless and considered for presentation.
Individual presentations should be timed for 30 minutes, followed by a
10
minute discussion period. There are no restrictions on the language of
the
presentation, but unfortunately it is not possible to offer
interpretation.
Software Demonstrations: We are particularly interested in well-prepared
software demonstrations, presentations of electronic dictionaries,
corpora,
tools, etc. Those demonstrations accepted will be presented in a 20
minute
time slot at the congress (possibly twice). Technical facilities will be
available.
Submissions
Submissions may be of one of the following two types: Contributed Papers
and
Software Demonstrations.
All submissions (of both types) will be reviewed by two or three members
of
the referees' panel; the programme will be selected by the programme
committee. Submissions proposing software demonstrations should include
a
description of the functions, underlying approach and implementation of
the
software, possibly an indication of a URL, and hardware/software
requirements.
Authors should send five hardcopies of a preliminary version of their
contribution to the congress organizers before October 15th, 1999. Fax
and
e-mail submission may be used in addition, but the hardcopy submission
in
five copies is mandatory.
Format:
Contributed Papers: 6 to 8 pages, double-spaced;
Software Demonstrations: 4 pages, double-spaced;
Front page:
* Title of the paper or software demonstration;
* Name(s), affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s);
* Abstract (10-15 lines);
* in the top right corner: indication of the topic category (use 1,
1-A,
1-B, etc.; if your paper does not fit in with any of the main
categories, please use category 8);
Authors whose submissions are accepted will receive a style guide for
the
preparation of the (electronic) final version of the paper, to be
published
in the Proceedings immediately before the congress. Contributed Papers
will
be allowed c. 10 pages: papers relating to Software Demonstrations c. 5
