Lexicography workshop with Itziar Molina
Instituto Cervantes Leeds is pleased to welcome a Itziar Molina, lexicographer and lecturer at the University of Salamanca, in an initiative promoted by Professor Antonio Martínez-Arboleda of the University of Leeds.
In this workshop, aimed at students at the University of Leeds, both professors will hold a short talk in which they will define what lexicography is and how the work of a specialist in this science is carried out. This will be followed by a classroom workshop, of a very practical nature, aimed at getting participants to collaboratively produce lexicographic cards. This will help them to understand what a dictionary is, how it is formed, what kind of information it contains, etc. It will also help them to become familiar with morphology and concepts such as derivation in a very practical way.
Itziar Molina Sangüesa holds a degree and PhD in Hispanic Philology from the University of Salamanca and is a Lecturer in the Department of Spanish Language, Faculty of Philology, at the same institution. Her lines of research are diachronic and digital lexicology and lexicography; specifically, focused on the study of the scientific lexicon -mathematical and medical- in the history of the Spanish language.
