During the second half of the 20th century, a number of major contributions to
French lexicography have been developed in Nancy, first within the Centre de
Recherche pour un Trésor de la Langue Française (CRTLF), then within the
Institut National de la Langue Française (INaLF). The present research institute,
Analyse et Traitement Informatique de la Langue Francaise (ATILF, www.atilf.fr),
aspires to become the latter's rightful successor.
