    Registration is now taking place for this year's Workshop on

    News page)
     
    Led by the Lexicography MasterClass: Sue Atkins, Adam Kilgarriff and
    Michael Rundell, Lexicom is an intensive one-week workshop, where
    seminars on theoretical issues alternate with practical sessions at the
    computer, working in small groups, each person with his/her own
    computer.
     
    Topics we cover
     
    1. designing and building text corpora
    2. software for analyzing corpus data
    3. designing and using dictionary databases
    4. Frame Semantics and its application to lexicography
    5. corpus analysis: discovering word senses, recording contextual
    information
    6. writing entries for dictionaries & lexicons
     
    The workshop also includes two 'master classes': one in advanced
    corpus-based lexicography (including bilingual entries) and the other in
    lexical computing.
     
    Who the course is for
    The workshop is suitable for people with a background in one or more of
    the following:
    1. lexicography
    2. linguistics
    3. computational linguistics
    4. computer support for dictionary projects
    5. translation
    6. terminologists
     
    The cost has been kept as low as possible, with discounted rates for
    full-time students and for participants from East European countries and
    regions with currency conversion problems. Places are limited and early
    registration is advised. Registrations received before the end of April
    carry a discounted fee.
