The 1st Multilinguality in the Lexicon Workshop took place in April
1996 as part of the AISB workshop series at Sussex, and brought
together researchers with a wide range of experiences in multilingual
lexicon development. In this second MLL workshop, we invite papers
illustrating progress made since the first meeting, as well as papers
on new approaches and applications. As before, the workshop will
provide an opportunity for people working on all aspects of
multilingual lexicons, both theoretical and practical, to focus on the
particular problems and questions associated with multilingual lexical
representation.

Papers are invited on any aspects of multilinguality in the lexicon
including but not limited to: pragmatics, semantics, syntax,
morphology, phonology, orthography; machine translation, generation,
understanding; bilingual and multilingual issues; related and
unrelated languages; issues of representation and access.

The workshop will run for one day as part of ECAI-98 in Brighton,
UK. To ensure a workshop rather than mini-conference format, presented
papers will be interspersed with substantial discussion sessions. In
order to maximise participation, attendees not presenting papers (and
perhaps some who are) may be asked to lead the discussion sessions.

SUBMISSION FORMAT:
Extended abstracts of not more than 6 pages (A4) are invited.
Submissions should be either hard copy or (preferebly) electronic in
self-contained LaTeX or Postscript files.  Submissions should include
authors' name, affiliation, email and full postal address and should
be sent to:
