From the 21st to the 23rd of June, 2006, the Third International Conference on Historical Lexicography and Lexicology (ICHLL 2006) took place in Leiden, the Netherlands.

The keynote speaker was Edmund Weiner, Deputy Chief Editor of the OED, who discussed the development of the OED over the past 23 years: data conversion, structural mark-up and other preparations of the online edition.

Part of the papers were linked to this topic and discussed various problems and possibilities with electronic dictionaries or other computer based applications in historical lexicography.

Much attention was paid to known and unknown historical dictionaries and their makers. Historical-lexicological issues focussed on etymology, morphology and loan words. The object languages of the papers included English, German, Portuguese, Tamil, Dutch, French, Italian, Chinese, Tamil, Frisian, Welsh, Scottish.

You will find the abstracts on this webpage. The publication of the proceedings is in preparation.
