In this meeting we will focus on the workflow of corpus-based lexicography.

The changes in the construction of dictionaries raise a number of research questions, which we aim to address during the Bolzano meeting:

  • Can different online dictionaries (under construction) fit their lexicographical process into the proposed phases?
  • How to deal with version control and archiving of different versions of the dictionary?
  • Print dictionaries mostly follow the alphabetic order of the entries, this is not necessarily so for online dictionaries. What guidelines are used in the different projects for determining which entries should be described and in which order they should be described?
  • How can visualisation of lexicographical information influence the lexicographical process?
  • How do the changes in the lexicographical process affect the user?
  • How can users be involved in the lexicographical process and during which phase should this be done?
  • How does automatic extraction of lexicographical data from corpora affect the lexicographical process?

For the Bolzano meeting we ask contributions (2-4 pages) to be presented at the meeting. You can use a sample template that you can download from this web page. You are, however, free to use a different format. The contributions should describe the lexicographical workflow of a project using the phases described in the documents available on this web page, plus an indication of the time span for each phase. Contributions addressing one of the other research questions above can also be submitted.
