This International Symposium is organised by Research Project “Los Diccionarios de Internet para el Tercer Milenio" (FFI2009-07109-E/FILO), University of Valladolid, and seeks to address some major concerns in the state of the art of e-dictionaries in connection with the approaches adopted by scholars working in two related fields: e-lexicography; knowledge engineering. We hope to add to the current debate regarding the development of accessology in connection with the existence of new visions and challenges for lexicography in the Information Age, resulting from three recent developments: (i) the advent of the so-called information and knowledge society; (ii) the integration of lexicography and computer technology and the present transition from printed to electronic dictionaries; (iii) the upsurge of new theoretical reflections and the formulation of an independent lexicographic theory.

Participants: Leading scholars from Denmark, South Africa, Germany, Belgium, Poland, and Spain will address the aforementioned issues:
