Submission guidelines

The focus of this conference is on Intelligent Lexicography, i.e., all the aspects of using LLMs and AI in lexicography, and vice versa. Beyond this year’s topic, papers discussing any of the following areas of lexicography are cordially welcome:

Dictionary content in different digital media (e.g. mobile devices, tablets)
Exploitation of language resources (e.g. via API): monolingual and multilingual corpora, learner corpora, lexical databases (e.g. Wordnet, Framenet, DANTE, Wikipedia)
Linked lexical data, its integration and presentation
Automatic creation of dictionary content
Visualisation of lexical data
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 (e.g. grammatical annotation, speech synthesis)
Corpus lexicography
Usage practices of the users of electronic dictionaries
Automated customisation of dictionaries to users’ needs and characteristics (e.g. proficiency level, mother tongue)
Integration of electronic dictionaries into language learning and teaching (e.g. CALL, translator training)
Crowdsourcing and its use in lexicography

Language of the conference: English



The abstracts (required for all categories), to be submitted by March 31st 2025, should be between 400–500 words in length (excluding references). The abstracts should be anonymous.



The abstracts should be submitted via Easychair website: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=elex2025.



There will be three categories of presentation at the conference:

Paper (25 minutes, including discussion)
Software presentation (25 minutes, including discussion)
Posters and demos



Software presentations should not include only a demo of the software but also other aspects, such as the analysis of user needs, the rationale for certain features, specifics of projects/datasets, etc. The posters and demos are intended to present research still at a preliminary stage and on which researchers would like to get feedback.



In order to give a presentation at the conference, you must have your abstract accepted. The authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit a full paper for the proceedings (indexed by SCOPUS).



We look forward to your contributions.
