Conference Report: International Conference Lexicography in the XXI Century, Tbilisi 10-12 November 2023

Abstract

The international conference Lexicography in the XXI Century took place at Ilia State University in Tbilisi, organized by the Centre for Lexicography and Language Technologies. In three days, it featured three keynote lectures, 25 regular papers and a poster session with nine posters.

The absence of parallel sessions brought all participants together in one room so that we built up a shared experience. Scholars from a wide range of European and North American countries ensured a genuine international exchange. Georgian lexicographers also took this opportunity to present their work to an international audience and engage in discussions.

Each day, the programme started with a keynote lecture. Keynote lectures were delivered by Pius ten Hacken, Lars Trap-Jensen and Tinatin Margalitadze.

It is worth mentioning that the authors included both established scholars and PhD students. This mix was very fortunate and stimulated the exchange of ideas.

In the book of abstracts, the conference is presented as the first of a series. It is good to know that there will be a second conference, organized in Batumi.
