Gastronomy is increasingly becoming a decisive flavour of tourists’ experience.

abstract = {This paper explores the inclusion of genericized trademarks that have made their way into Greek dictionaries. Genericized trademarks constitute a special type of neologism, balancing between non-lexical and lexical, between "proper" and "common". Although the goal of creating a brand name is to make a specific product easily recognizable by distinguishing it from the rest of its kind, the trademark might become so well-known and widely used that it starts denoting all similar products, becomes part of the general vocabulary and gains lemma status in dictionaries. Given the fact that very little, if any, documentation exists on the subject, be it publicized lexicographic policies, style guides, or any references in the relevant literature, the main aim of the article is to explore some of the criteria by which such items have made their way into dictionaries of Modern Greek. First, an overview of genericized trademarks and brand names in Modern Greek dictionaries is presented. Then, based on the etymological information in the dictionaries, the paper investigates now many genericized trademarks are borrowed by other languages compared to Greek and which these languages are. The list of all these items is cross-checked against two different corpora to compare the frequency of their lexical use to that of their non-lexical use. Finally, the article attempts to test whether the main criteria used in the English lexicographic tradition to differentiate the two forms of use also apply in the case of Modern Greek.},

abstract = {As part of our project entitled “GRE-Taste: The Taste of Greece,” we have been developing a trilingual (Greek, English and Russian) thesaurus of food served in restaurants in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. To this end, we have designed a web thesaurus development environment, and have defined facets and subfacets corresponding to the following major categories: Foods (both as ingredients and as dishes); drinks; food sources (and parts thereof); places of origin; preparation methods; functions; state; and, nutrition. For each concept, the preferred (most common) and non-preferred (synonym and hidden) terms are entered; nutritional, cultural and other information appear in separate fields, as do the relationships between concepts (e.g. between a dish and its ingredients, cooking methods or place of origin). In this paper, we examine how the Langual thesaurus can be used to code foods, and as well as the issues involved in the process, such as those related to confusing descriptions and the absence of corresponding Greek dishes. We offer a suggestion for the enrichment of the Langual thesaurus aimed at producing an outcome that might ensure harmonization and interoperability among different applications. We also put forth a proposal that might help resolve Greek terminology challenges encountered in the description and classification process of foods and also regarding issues that arise related to other gastronomic concepts.},

Most of the challenges in studying and describing any sign language spring from the nature of these languages themselves, which is why this nature is briefly described. Instead of dealing with the typical two-dimensional, linear representation of the linguistic message, researchers have to cope with a more complex and dynamic medium involving elements including hand position and movement, eye gaze, facial expression as well as head and body movement. All these, among others, make the acquisition and processing of signed material more expensive and time-consuming. Finally, the activity of building and exploiting sign language resources can also be held back by social factors, including choice of informants, communication barriers and prejudice.},
