Training and Workshops

Collectively and individually, LexMC's directors have trained several hundred lexicographers, computationalists and linguists over the past two decades. We now run regular workshops that offer a unique mix of hands-on practical tasks combined with relevant theoretical input, reflecting our extensive experience in the field.

Our courses have been attended by people from the publishing industry (both managers and editors), from universities (both faculty and graduate students, including linguists, computer scientists, and computational linguists), from software houses (engineers and linguists), and from government agencies (terminologists and translators). The medium of instruction is English, but practical work may focus on any language or language pair.

LexMC runs workshops of any length, but 3-5 days are the most popular formats. Workshops are either open-to-all (especially our annual Lexicom series) or can be customized to meet the needs of a specific institution or research group. The model we follow is to alternate seminar or lecture presentation of a topic with practical sessions in which participants - each with their own web-linked computer - work together in small groups to complete exercises or develop dictionary entries.
