About AUSTRALEX
AUSTRALEX was founded in 1990, as a companion association to EURALEX.
It is committed to the development of lexicography in all languages
of the Australasian region. AUSTRALEX's interests include:
- dictionaries of all kinds
(monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual, general and specialist,
in book and online)
- the theory of lexicography
- the history of lexicography
- the practice of dictionary-making
- dictionary use
- terminology and terminography
- corpus lexicography
- computational lexicography
and dictionaries for natural language processing
- lexicology
The AUSTRALEX membership consists mainly
of people from
Australia
and New Zealand,
but it also has members in Japan,
Zambia
and the UK.
It includes career lexicographers, students of lexicography and researchers
into dictionaries, publishers, teachers, and people who "just like
dictionaries". Anyone interested in becoming a member can apply
here.
AUSTRALEX is governed by a committee of 10 members, who are elected every two years.
The association holds regular meetings, where papers are presented on a large variety
of topics relevant to its members' interests.
