The fifth biennial Conference on electronic lexicography (eLex 2017)

September 19-21,2017

Holiday Inn Leiden, Netherlands

Call For Papers

The conference aims to investigate state-of-the-art technologies and methods for automating the creation of dictionaries. Over the past two decades, advances in NLP techniques have enabled the automatic extraction of different kinds of lexicographic information from corpora and other (digital) resources. As a result, key lexicographic tasks, such as finding collocations, definitions, example sentences, translations, are more and more beginning to be transferred from humans to machines.

Topics of Interest

• Automatic creation of dictionary content
• Crowdsourcing and its use in lexicography
• Visualisation of lexical data
• Linked lexical data and its presentation
• Exploitation of language resources: monolingual and multilingual corpora, learner corpora, lexical databases (e.g. Wordnet, Framenet, DANTE, Wikipedia)
• New reference tools with a dictionary element (e.g. learning tools, writing assistants)
• Dictionary writing systems and other software available to the lexicographer
• Integration of NLP tools (e.g. grammatical annotation, speech synthesis)
• Dictionary content in different digital media (e.g. tablets, mobile devices)
• Usage practices of the users of electronic dictionaries
• Automated customisation of dictionaries to users’ needs and characteristics (e.g. proficiency level, mother tongue)
• Integration of electronic dictionaries into language learning and teaching (e.g. CALL, translator training)
