In Memoriam: Dr. Tamás Magay (1928–2026)

We are saddened to report that of Dr. Tamás Magay (1928–2026), founding member of EURALEX and one of the most influential figures of Hungarian and European bilingual lexicography, passed away on 28 February 2026. Dr. Magay was not only a distinguished lexicographer and scholar but also a key contributor to the establishment of EURALEX as a unifying professional forum for lexicographers across Europe. His decades-long work in bilingual dictionary making, his theoretical contributions, and his dedication to mentoring new generations of lexicographers earned him lasting respect within the international community. His legacy continues to shape our field in profound ways.

EURALEX is the leading professional association for people working in lexicography and related fields. In the rapidly-changing world of language analysis and language description, EURALEX provides a forum for the exchange of ideas. Though based in Europe, EURALEX has a worldwide reach and a worldwide membership. Its members include lexicographers, reference publishers, corpus linguists, computational linguists, academics working in relevant disciplines, software developers, and anyone with a lively interest in language.

EURALEX holds a major Congress every two years, and also sponsors smaller events on specific areas within the broader field. Details about the past and future Euralex conferences are available on the Conferences page. The collection of the proceedings of all the EURALEX congresses can be accessed online on the Publications page.

EURALEX maintains a discussion list (euralex@freelists.org) for the exchange of views on anything of interest to people working in lexicography and related fields. The list is open to all interested people and is not limited to members of Euralex. To subscribe to the Euralex list please fill out this subscription form at Freelists.org.
