The conference aims to explore innovative developments in the field of electronic lexicography. Papers on the following topics are particularly welcome:

• Linked lexical data and its presentation
• Automation of lexicographical processes
• Exploitation of language resources: monolingual and multilingual corpora, learner corpora, lexical databases (e.g. Wordnet, Framenet, DANTE, encyclopedia, Wikipedia)
• Crowdsourcing and its use in lexicography
• New reference tools with a dictionary element (e.g. learning tools, writing assistants)
• Dictionary writing systems and other software available to the lexicographer
• Integration of NLP tools (grammatical annotation, speech synthesis, etc.)
• Dictionary content in new media (tablets, mobile devices, etc.)
• Usage practices of the users of electronic dictionaries
• Automated customisation of dictionaries to users’ needs and characteristics (proficiency level, mother tongue, etc.)
• Integration of electronic dictionaries into language learning and teaching (CALL, translator training, etc.)
