    • Types of dictionaries, for purposes such as translation and teaching;






    • Innovative specialised dictionaries such as the Oenolex wine dictionary and the Online Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language;






    • Lexicography and world languages, including Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Chinese, and Indonesian;






    • The future of lexicography, including the use of the Internet, user participation, and dictionary portals.
