We invite proposals for presentations at Jornadas dos Dicionários, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, 14-15 October 2027.

The conference explores how lexical and terminological resources are evolving within contemporary knowledge ecosystems shaped by rapid technological development, artificial intelligence, and increasing demands for open access, interoperability, and reuse.

Particular attention is given to the interaction between Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Large Language Models (LLMs), terminology, lexicography, and standardisation practices.

The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue around the design, management, accessibility, and reuse of lexical resources in increasingly complex digital and global knowledge environments.

This edition highlights the interplay between AI-driven technologies, terminological and lexicographic practices, and supporting infrastructures such as standards and open access frameworks.

It also considers the role of these tools in enhancing language awareness and supporting specialised translation, while enabling more inclusive, transparent, and reusable knowledge systems.

As language technologies continue to reshape how knowledge is created, structured, and shared, the conference encourages reflection across domains that have traditionally developed in parallel.

Topics of Interest

  • AI-driven approaches to lexicography and terminology management
  • Terminology extraction, standardisation, and interoperability
  • Lexicographic practices in digital, computational, and collaborative environments
  • The role of standards in ensuring quality, consistency, and reuse of lexical data
  • Open access models for dictionaries and terminological resources
  • Knowledge representation, ontologies, and semantic technologies
  • Ethical, social, and epistemological implications of AI in language resources
  • Multilingualism, diversity, and inclusivity in lexical and terminological work
  • Language awareness and education through lexical and terminological resources
  • AI and language technologies for specialised translation

Abstract submission information

Abstracts must be submitted in Portuguese, English, French, or Spanish via EasyChair [incluir link] (account required).
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit anonymised abstracts. Submissions that are not anonymised will be desk-rejected.

  • Deadline for submission: 15 December 2026
  • Notification of acceptance: 28 February 2027
  • Length of abstracts: 500 words max. (excluding references, figures, tables, images). Please provide 3–5 keywords.

You may submit up to three abstracts in total, but only one as lead author. When submitting, you will be asked to indicate one of the following options:

  • Paper only – your abstract will be considered for an oral presentation. If a slot cannot be offered, you will receive an invitation to present it as a poster instead.
  • Paper or poster – your abstract will be considered for both formats, depending on scheduling and thematic fit.
  • Poster only – your abstract will be considered exclusively for a poster presentation.
  • Please note that abstracts not accepted for the selected format will not be reconsidered under a different category.

Types of presentations

  • Individual papers (20-minute presentation + 5-minute Q&A)
  • Posters (A0, portrait)

We particularly encourage poster submissions, as the number of paper slots is limited. Poster sessions provide an excellent opportunity for informal and extended discussion with colleagues.

Length of Abstracts
Individual papers, papers at the doctoral student workshop, or posters: 500 words max. (excluding references, figures, tables, images).

Language Policy
The working language of the conference is English, but presentations are also welcome in other European languages.

  • Evaluation of abstracts
  • All proposals will be evaluated anonymously by three members of the Scientific Committee. Evaluation criteria include:
  • Quality of the research design
  • Organization and clarity of the abstract
  • Originality and potential contribution to the field
