CompLexico is a research group within the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHSS) at the Faculty of Humanities, Udayana University. CompLexico is formalised on 16 April 2024 by the Rector of Udayana University (Decree no. 594/UN14/HK/2024). In CIRHSS, CompLexico subsumes two research strands: the Indonesian Languages, Documentation and Learning and Digital Humanities.

CompLexico is initiated and led by Gede Primahadi Wijaya Rajeg. It aims at both pedagogical and research-related goals. From the pedagogical side, the pre-cursor of CompLexico is Gede's teaching (and supervision see here) of corpus linguistics and modern lexicographic tools (e.g., COCA, FLEx, and WeSay) for undergraduate students in the English Lexicology and Lexicography course, and for convening the Corpus Linguistics course in the Linguistics Doctoral program at Udayana University. From the research side, CompLexico grew from (i) Gede's career-long research interests in cognitive lexical semantics, usage-based cognitive linguistics, and quantitative corpus linguistics, and (ii) his current postdoctoral work at the University of Oxford to develop lexical resources for Enggano, a threatened Austronesian language spoken in the Enggano island, Bengkulu, Indonesia (PI: Prof. Mary Dalrymple; co-PI: Prof. I Wayan Arka; funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council [AHRC; AH/W007290/1] cf. the Enggano webpage).

The main inspiration to create a circular logo comes from the Lexibank project¹. The logo of CompLexico combines two Heptapod logograms from the Arrival movie. The outer logogram/circle in the logo means 'Humanity' (original image) in the Heptapod language. Meanwhile, the inner logogram means 'Solve on you now' (original image). Each of these logograms is provided with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (cf. here) inside this directory under this GitHub repository. The original black colour of the outer logogram is modified and filled with an image of computer code shared by Markus Spiske on Unsplash. The colour of the inner logogram is also replaced with another computer code image shared by Mitchell Luo on Unsplash. As a whole, the logo symbolises CompLexico’s focus on the application of computational and digital tools to investigate, analyse, and hopefully ”solve” (some of the) issues in the field of humanities, particularly lexicology and lexicography. The CompLexico logo is conceptualised, designed, and created by Gede Primahadi W. Rajeg using GIMP and is accessible via figshare.
