LEXICOM 2007
A Workshop in Lexicography and Lexical Computing
Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
June 4th-8th 2007
http://nlp.fi.muni.cz/lexicom2007
Led by Sue Atkins, Adam Kilgarriff and Michael Rundell of the Lexicography
MasterClass, Lexicom is an intensive one-week workshop, with seminars on
theoretical issues alternating with practical sessions at the computer.
There will be some parallel 'lexicographic' and 'computational' sessions.
Topics to be covered include:
* corpus creation
* corpus analysis:
o software and corpus querying
o discovering word senses, recording contextual
information
* Frame Semantics and its application to lexicography
* writing entries for dictionaries and lexicons
* dictionary databases and writing systems
* using web data
Applications are invited from people with interests and experience in any
of these areas.
Over the last seven years Lexicom workshops (in Europe and in Asia) have
attracted well over 200 participants from 32 countries, including
lexicographers, computational linguists, professors, research students,
translators, terminologists, and editors, managers and technical support
staff from dictionary publishers and information-management companies.
The venue, Brno, the beautiful and ancient capital of Moravia, is the
Czech Republic's second city.
