Both these events were hosted by the Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Budapest in Hungary. Following the success of the first colloquium in 2014 it was decided that it would be an annual event on the EMLex calendar. This year’s colloquium did not have a central theme but no less than twelve papers were presented as well as a stimulating round table discussion by members of the Dictionary Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Appropriate for the multicultural and multilingual nature of EMLex the first paper, presented by Stefan Schierholz, focused on lexicography, culture and society. Further papers included topics like the use of smartphones in foreign language teaching (Martina Nied-Curcio), collocations in English learner’s dictionaries (Stefania Nuccorini), Polish learner’s dictionaries (Monika Bielinska), approaches and possibilities of informatics in modern lexicography (Tibor Pintér) and the question whether it is possible to induce a paradigm shift through a dictionary (Eva Buchi). Other topics that were discussed were the preparation of the Hungarian version of the revised UNGEGN Glossary (Andrea Bölcskei), plans for the first Irish-Hungarian/ Hungarian-Irish dictionary (Dóra Pidör), addressing relations (Rufus Gouws), valency lexicons of German and Spanish (Maria José Dominguez Vazquez), lexicography and vocabulary extent (Stefan Engelberg), and challenges of the Japanese-Hungarian dictionary (Ilona Varrók). Papers were presented in both German and English, confirming yet again that these are the working languages of EMLex. The 3rd EMLex Colloquium on Lexicography is planned for 2016 at the Uniwersytet Śląski w Katowicach in Poland, and will focus on dictionary criticism as central theme. One of the significant decisions taken at the annual meeting of the Consortium was that a proposal would be prepared to apply for an Erasmus Mundus programme for 2016. 3 The Summer semester In addition to the national and international faculty of experts, all of whom are PhD holders, mostly full professors, associate professors and directors of Research Centers of the institutions that make up the Consortium, the mobility of students and teachers under the Erasmus Program, which takes place in the summer term of each year, is also an important feature of the EMLex. Students and teachers spend the second semester at one of the universities of the Consortium: Maribor in 2011, Barcelona in 2012, Erlangen, in 2013; Santiago de Compostela, in 2014.

ENGELBERG) The EMLex summer term started on February 23th (A1: Metalexikographie ) and ended on June 5th (A3: Lernerlexikographie). Although students must choose 6 courses to complete this semester, they were advised to attend all courses, which had been taught on an intensive basis (1 week). The working languages of EMLex summer term were English and German. Some courses were taught in English, some in German and some in both languages. The current group consists of 9 students: 6 students from Katowice, 1 student from Erlangen, 1 student from Nancy, and 1 student from Braga. 2 EMLex site: http://www.emlex.phil.uni-erlangen.de/ 3 EMLex site: http://www.kre.hu/btk/index.php/nemzetkoezi-emlex-kepzes.html 4 EMLex site: http://www.atilf.fr/spip.php?rubrique589 5 EMLex site: http://emlex.ilch.uminho.pt/ 6 EMLex site: http://venus.fil.us.edu.pl/index2.php?s=emlex Bereitgestellt von | Universitaetsbibliothek Erlangen-Nuernberg Angemeldet | [email protected] Heruntergeladen am | 12.01.16 09:13 The European Master in Lexicography in 2015 361 In keeping up with an EMLex tradition that each group of students gets the name of a famous lexicographer from the hosting country, the current group was named the “Jerónimo Cardoso” cohort. Jerónimo Cardoso was born in Lamego, a little city in northern Portugal. Cardoso is believed to have been born around 1508 (Teyssier, 1980; Nascimento, n.d.; Verdelho, 2007). Jerónimo Cardoso published, in 1562, a Portuguese-Latin bilingual dictionary entitled Dictionarium ex Lusitanico in Latinum Sermonem. It is considered to be the first dictionary of the Portuguese language (with 12064 entries). There are references to lexicographic works that are previous to this date, but none was found (Verdelho, 2007). The Dictionarium ex Lusitanico in Latinum Sermonem is a bilingual Portuguese-Latin vocabulary (or, in the words of Quemada (1968), semi-bilingual dictionary), similar to the ones that we can find in other European languages. In the National Library of Portugal (http://www.bnportugal.pt/) we have access to digital copies of Cardoso’s lexicographical works (http://purl.pt/index/geral/aut/ PT/28302.html): The Dictionarium ex Lusitanico in latinum sermonem (1562)⁷ and to nine different editions of the Dictionarium latino lusitanicum, et lusitanico latinum (1643)⁸. In 2016 the summer semester will be hosted by the Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Budapest. 4 Breaking news Shortly before publication of this report the EMLex Consortium received the good news of an Erasmus Mundus award for the Programme. The academic year 2016/2017 will therefore see the emergence of a Joint Master Degree in Lexicography with improved financial support for selected students. 7 Hieronymi Cardosi Lamacensis Dictionarium ex Lusitanico in latinum sermonem. – Ulissypone: ex officina Ioannis Aluari, 1562.
