The 2001 Asian Association for Lexicography (ASIALEX) Biennial Conference
August 8-10, 2001
Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS, Second Circular
First organized at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1997 during an international conference on dictionaries and lexicography, ASIALEX had its first biennial conference at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, in 1999, with some two hundred scholars attending from a dozen countries of Asia and Europe. The second ASIALEX conference will be hosted by the Center for Linguistic Informatics Research (formerly, Lexicographical Center) of Yonsei University from August 8 to 10, 2001. Prof. Sangsup Lee, current President of the Association, is Director of the Center.
The general theme of the ASIALEX 2001 Conference is "Asian Bilingualism and the Dictionary." The organizing committee believe that bilingualism and the dictionary have special aspects in the Asian context, a subject that has not received sufficient consideration so far and whose significance is growing very fast in this age of accelerated cross-cultural, informatic contact between the peoples of Asia and the rest of the world. However, we welcome practically all topics related to the dictionary. Following is a list of topics we consider to be relevant. Since this is not exhaustive, other topics may be added.
| 1. Corpus Linguistics, Lexicology, Lexicography |
| 2. Computational Lexicography |
| 3. Lexicographical Processes and Methods |
| 4. Language Education and Dictionary |
| 5. Terminography |
| 6. Lexicographical Problems in Asian Bilingualism |
Renowned scholars and lexicographers, including Patrick Hanks and Murata Minoru, will speak at plenary sessions. Languages to be used will be Korean and English.

Grant For Asian Scholars
=========================
The Organizing Committee have decided to offer a Grant to invite outstanding Asian scholars of lexicography who might not otherwise be able and willing to attend the conference. Although our budget is very limited, we hope to invite as many excellent colleagues, from as wide a range of Asian regions and countries as we can. The grant includes both airfare and accommodations. Grantholders will receive payment for a round-way ticket from the main international airport of the Asian country where the holder
resides, to Seoul; the ticket must be an economy class discount via the shortest route. They also will be provided with free accommodation (breakfast inclusive) at one of our guesthouses on campus and decent amount of per diem.
Applicants are asked to present their papers at one of the sessions during the conference. So we hope them to read carefully and act up to the procedures for participating in the Conference as stated in the attached documents and the general information about the Aisalex 2001 on its website, http://asialex.yonsei.ac.kr .
