Led by 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 to be covered include:
*          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 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.
