POSSIBLE DICTIONARIES
July 6-7, 2007

Organized by Raffaele Simone
with the collaboration of Francesca Masini

In recent years, lexicon has imposed itself as one of the central topics of interest for linguistic theory, applied linguistics and computational linguistics. Theoretical studies can find application in dictionary-making as well as in computational and corpus linguistics, that are often closely related to each other. As a result new concepts - such as "collocation" or "word combination" - have been implemented lexicographically, whereas others - like "construction" in its several readings - still wait for a full lexicographic treatment.

The colloquium, which inaugurates the activities of a new research desk on word and the lexicon (TRIPLE - Tavolo di Ricerca sulla Parola e il Lessico) recently created at the Department of Linguistics of the Roma Tre University, aims at fostering the presentation of new ideas and proposals of possible but still not existing dictionaries and the implementation of new theoretical concepts under dictionary form.

The speakers will therefore present in an informal way the layout of new projects for possible dictionaries on the basis of their research experience. Furthermore, a final round table will take place with the participation of major dedicated publishers, thus contributing to create a dialogue between academic research and industrial dictionary production.

The site of the colloquium is currently under construction.
