A Call for a Corpus-Based Sign Language Dictionary

The motto of EURALEX 2018 was “Lexicography in global contexts”, emphasising changes in the field of lexicography related to digital transformation, and the associated need to bring together lex-icographic efforts on a global level. This has been done in recent years through the Globalex initia-tive, a constellation of lexicographic associations that includes representatives from all continental associations of lexicography: Afrilex, Asialex, Australex, Dictionary Society of North America, and Euralex. Similar development can be witnessed in the decision of European Commission in 2017 to fund a four-year project dedicated to the establishment of the European Lexicographic Infrastructure (ELEXIS), which was also presented at the congress. This volume of proceedings includes congress papers submitted in three categories: papers, posters, and software demonstrations. During the review process each submitted contribution was evaluated by two independent blind referees. In case of doubt, a third independent opinion was involved.
