Digital Lexicography in the Age of AI: Challenges and Innovations for Multilingual Europe
A project-based roundtable examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping dictionary-making, language education and the place of lexicographic resources in a multilingual Europe.
Yan Kapranov’s documented role: Project Coordinator of ESPERIDTA and coordinator of the roundtable. The official project report identifies Prof. Olena Semenoh as moderator.
Discussion field
- AI and dictionary-makingArtificial intelligence, multimedia dictionaries and changing digital lexicographic practice.
- Education and usersDictionary work in language learning, teacher education, school practice and literary study.
- Multilingual EuropeLanguage policy, identity, inclusion and the role of lexicographic resources in digital transformation.
What the roundtable connected
From lexicographic tools to educational practice
- AI and multimedia tools were considered alongside established dictionary-making and lexicographic research.
- Presentations connected digital dictionaries with language learning, teacher education and classroom practice.
- Corpus-based and semantic work was placed within a wider conversation about language, culture and identity.
Why it belongs in Conversations
A moderated exchange across institutions
- The official project account describes a roundtable rather than a sequence of unrelated conference papers.
- Scholars and students joined from universities and cities across Ukraine, creating an explicitly cross-institutional format.
- The record documents both prepared presentations and additional participant insights within the shared discussion.
Evidence boundary: official records verify the date, project framework, Warsaw host, themes and the roles stated above. They provide no public recording or verified attendance total and describe moderation differently; this page therefore makes no participant-count or “co-moderator” claim.
The official project report already preserves the event photographs in their original institutional context. This page does not duplicate images showing multiple participants or interface details; it links to the source where attribution and context remain intact.

Language shift, Ukraine and multilingual lives
University of Oulu · Third Annual Eudaimonia Lecture
Reversing Language Shift: Self-Ukrainization in Ukraine after the Full-Scale Invasion
A scheduled commentary responding to Anna Verschik’s lecture on language shift and self-Ukrainization, followed by an open discussion at Tellus Stage and online.
Yan Kapranov’s documented contribution: the University of Oulu programme assigns him the 17:05–17:15 commentary slot. In the official recording, his remarks begin at approximately 46:19 and the chair opens the discussion at approximately 51:40.
Lecture-to-discussion sequence
- Annual lectureAnna Verschik presented the Third Annual Eudaimonia Lecture on reversing language shift and self-Ukrainization in Ukraine.
- Scheduled commentaryThe official programme assigns the response slot to Yan Kapranov; the recording reaches his opening at approximately 46:19.
- Public discussionThe chair moves from the response into questions and discussion at approximately 51:40 in the official recording.
Commentary focus
Language choice as analysis and lived experience
- The response distinguishes the analytical perspective of a linguist from the lived perspective of a Ukrainian citizen.
- It considers language choice across thought, communication, everyday interaction and professional life.
- It brings the broader problem of language shift back to the concrete domains in which speakers make choices.
Why it belongs in Conversations
A response embedded in a public exchange
- This was not a stand-alone lecture: the contribution directly followed and responded to Anna Verschik’s presentation.
- The programme explicitly continued into a public discussion rather than ending with the commentary.
- A later audience question returned to the domains in which Ukrainian had been used before the full-scale invasion.
Evidence boundary: the University of Oulu programme verifies the event, venue, online format, formal commentary slot and public discussion. The official recording shows a response of about five minutes, not a ten-minute delivered talk; 17:05–17:15 is the allocated programme slot. Neither source uses “invited commentary” or supports promotional claims about a “global audience”, so those descriptions are not reproduced here.
The Facebook archive remains private evidence. Most images are screenshots from the official recording or show other participants; the announcement artwork carries multiple institutional marks and a third-party portrait. The 90-second vertical reel also opens with another participant in the official event footage. None adds enough editorial value to justify republishing or repackaging third-party material, so this case links directly to the University of Oulu sources instead.
