LEXIS
THE STUDY OF LEXICON ACROSS CULTURAL IDENTITIES
AND TEXTUAL GENRES
International Conference
University of Verona, 11-13 November 2010
Aim of the conference
Research on dictionaries and foreign language
textbooks generally focuses separately
either on specialized textual genres or on cultural
issues, whereas so far only few studies
have joined the two aspects so as to focus on lexicon –
be it general or specialized –
from a cultural perspective. Yet all uses of a
language, including those for special
and teaching purposes, entail some cultural dimension.
Hence, culture(s)-sensitive lexicographical tools are
needed that enable speakers to achieve
the necessary cultural knowledge (including the
awareness of the diversities among
cultural systems) to communicate successfully in
international settings, even for specific and
professional purposes – e.g., in domains such as
business, institutional, legal,
media, medical, political, or tourist discourse.
The conference, organized within the framework of the
national research project
“Dictionaries, Language Materials and Words across
Languages, Cultures and
Ideologies”, aims at shedding light on the
relationship between lexicon and cultural
heritage, focusing on dictionaries, glossaries and
textbooks.
