The XVIII EURALEX International Congress. Lexicography in Global Contexts: Book of Abstracts

The motto of EURALEX 2018 was “Lexicography in global contexts”, emphasising changes in the field of lexicography related to digital transformation, and the associated need to bring together lexicographic efforts on a global level. This has been done in recent years through the Globalex initiative, a constellation of lexicographic associations that includes representatives from all continental associations of lexicography: Afrilex, Asialex, Australex, Dictionary Society of North America, and Euralex. Similar development can be witnessed in the decision of European Commission in 2017 to fund a four-year project dedicated to the establishment of the European Lexicographic Infrastructure (ELEXIS), which was also presented at the congress.
