The first HEL-LEX symposium was held in Helsinki in March 2005. The symposium was envisioned as an opportunity both to fill a thematic gap in the field of lexicographical conferences and to bring together the expertise of scholars and professional dictionary makers. With participants from more than ten countries and excellent plenary presentations by Gabriele Stein, Zoltán Kövecses and Ian Lancashire, the symposium was a great success and gave impetus for a second HEL-LEX event. The proceedings of the first HEL-LEX conference, Selected Proceedings of the 2005 Symposium on New Approaches in English Historical Lexis (HEL-LEX), are available online from Cascadilla Press.
The organizers gratefully acknowledge a grant from the Academy of Finland for HEL-LEX 2.
