Lexicom: a Workshop in Lexicography and Lexical Computing

http://nlp.fi.muni.cz/lexicom2009-europe
Led by Sue Atkins, Adam Kilgarriff and Michael Rundell of the Lexicography MasterClass, this is an intensive five-day workshop, with seminars on theoretical issues alternating with practical sessions at the computer. There will be some parallel 'lexicographic' and 'computational' sessions.
Topics:
* corpus creation
* corpus analysis:
o software and corpus querying
o discovering word senses, recording contextual information
* preparing word sketches
* 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 eight years Lexicom workshops (in Europe, Asia and the Americas) have attracted 270 participants from 34 countries, including lexicographers, computational linguists, professors, research students, translators, terminologists, and editors, managers and technical support staff from dictionary publishers and information-management companies.
