GWLN 2020 - 2nd Globalex Workshop on Lexicography and Neologism at EURALEX 2020
- 2nd Call for Papers
The second iteration of Globalex Workshop on Lexicography and Neologism will be
held in conjunction with the EURALEX 2020 Congress at Alexandroupolis, Greece,
on September 8, 2020.
GWLN 2020<https://globalex2020.globalex.link/gw-euralex2020/> is supported by
Globalex, the Global Alliance for Lexicography. It will follow on the first
GWLN, which was held in conjunction with the DSNA 2019 meeting in Bloomington,
IN, and of which selected papers will be published as a special issue of
Dictionaries - Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America in spring
2020. Papers from the 2020 workshop are planned to be peer-reviewed for
publication as a special of issue of International Journal of Lexicography, in
2021
Our aim is to offer cross-world views on lexicographic detection and
representation of neologism for different languages.
We invite papers discussing issues related to neologisms - including new words,
new meanings of existing words, and new multiword units - in the context of
lexicography and dictionaries, focusing on digital media. Topics include, but
are not limited to:
· how to find neologisms (corpus analysis and editorial means of
identification; evaluation of data, e.g. blogs and chats)
· how to deal with grammatical/orthographic/pronunciation variation
(descriptive vs. prescriptive)
· how to explain meaning with/without encyclopedic information, and how
to use illustrations and audio-visual media
· how neologisms that are no longer new and those no longer used can be
detected and should be dealt with in dictionaries
· how dictionary users can help with finding and informing about
neologisms
· how well are neologisms accepted by the community (rejection and
language purism; particular impacts on poorly-resourced languages) and
reflected in dictionaries
· which fields (e.g. new media, sports, technology) enrich the dictionary
with neologisms most of all
· does the dictionary borrow most neologisms from other languages (and
which ones) and/or does the language in question use word formation to enlarge
the lexicon
· when do foreign words that infiltrate another language become neologisms
Abstracts including 500-1,000 words are due by February 20, 2020 and will be
reviewed by members of the EURALEX 2020 Scientific Committee. Notification of
acceptance will be made by April 10, 2020.
