This book contains papers presented at the XXI EURALEX International Congress, Cavtat, Croatia, 8–12 October 2024.
The main topic of the XXI EURALEX International Congress was Lexicography and Semantics.
Lexicography and semantics, particularly lexical semantics, share a deep connection, as the accurate representation of meaning is a fundamental aspect of both disciplines. The intersection of lexicography and semantics is a fertile ground for exploring how words convey meaning and how meaning is structured in language.
Over the past century and a half, various significant theoretical approaches to understanding word meaning have left their mark on the field of lexicography. Notably, the influence of semantic theories on lexicography and the compilation of digital lexical resources has become particularly prominent with the rise of cognitive semantics, and more specifically, the advent of frame semantics, which has played a pivotal role in enhancing the way lexicographersanalyse and describe word meanings, resulting in more comprehensive lexical resources.
These resources include traditional dictionaries, thesauri, and linguistic corpora, but also extend to more specialized databases, ontologies, word embeddings, and semantic networks. This remarkable range of lexical resources has had a profound impact on the field of semantics, stimulating new lines of research and enriching our understanding of how language works. These resources have found applications beyond these two linguistic fields: They are used in fields like information retrieval, sentiment analysis, machine translation, and Large Language Models development, demonstrating the practical relevance of the synergy between lexicography and semantics, which is very well represented at this conference.
