The workshop aims at discovering the hidden universals that inform lexicographical writings beyond one specific language or period of time. To achieve this, we will adopt a comparative, multidisciplinary approach. The workshop will gather scholars from different disciplines to discuss lexicographical writings produced in a wide range of cultures and settings. We aim to cover at least Arabic, Akkadian, Greek, Sanskrit, Siberian, Sumerian, & Tamil, spanning from the fourth millennium BCE to the second millennium CE.
