The 2001 Asian Association for Lexicography (ASIALEX)
Biennial Conference
August 8-10, 2001
Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea
CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
AND
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
The Asian Association for Lexicography (ASIALEX) was inaugurated at the
Dictionaries in Asia conference at Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology in 1997. Its first biennial conference was hosted at Guangdong
University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, in 1999, by the first Asialex
president and president of the university, Professor Huang Jianhua, and was
attended by two hundred scholars from Asia and Europe. The current
president, Professor Sangsup Lee, chairs the organizing committee of the
second biennial conference, due on 8-10 August 2001, at the Center for
Linguistic Informatics Research at Yonsei University, which he directs.
The general theme of the ASIALEX 2001 Conference is "Asian Bilingualism and
the Dictionary." These subjects have special aspects in the Asian context
which have not received sufficient consideration so far and whose
significance is
growing very fast in this age of accelerated cross-cultural, informatic
contact between the peoples of Asia and the rest of the world. Other topics
related to the dictionary are also welcome. Following is a list of major
topics suggested by the organizing committee:
1. Corpus Linguistics, Lexicology, Lexicography
2. Computational Lexicography
3. Lexicographical Processes and Methods
4. Language Education and Dictionary
5. Terminography
6. Lexicographical Problems in Asian Bilingualism
Renowned scholars and lexicographers will speak at plenary sessions. The
languages used will be Korean and English.
