Proceedings of the XVII EURALEX International Congress. Lexicography and Linguistic Diversity (6 – 10 September, 2016)
The XVII EURALEX International Congress was held in Tbilisi, Georgia from 6 to 10 September 2016, hosted by the Lexicographic Centre at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. On behalf of the organising committee and the programme committee of the congress, I am pleased to present this volume of the proceedings. Following the example, set up by the Bolzano congress in 2014, the proceedings are published exclusively in the digital format on the Internet. Tbilisi congress was organised under the patronage of Tbilisi City Assembly and under the scientific patronage of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences. EURALEX congresses serve as fora for professional lexicographers, publishers, programmers and other individuals involved in the pursuit of lexicography. They take place every second year and usually attract a large international audience. Tbilisi congress was no exception from this point of view. This year EURALEX participants came from almost 40 countries and four continents and the congress papers address almost 40 languages of the world. With the motto of EURALEX 2016 being “Lexicography and Linguistic Diversity”, the main objective of the Congress was to highlight the importance of lexicography for the preservation of linguistic diversity and ensuring cultural and scientific ties between cultures and nations.
This volume contains the publications of the works which were presented in the XVII EURALEX International Congress.
