Toporišič organised the first Pleteršnik's Days symposium in Pišece in 1996 and continued until 2003, when he entrusted Marko Jesenšek with the care of Pleteršnik's linguistic and lexicographic work. His last lecture at an academic conference, as well as his last academic publication (2011a), were also connected to the symposium in Pišece: he presented Škrabec's view on accentology in Pleteršnik's dictionary. With that, Toporišič symbolically concluded his linguistic work with a discussion of the two Slovene linguists whom he valued the most and dedicated a considerable part of his research and organisational career to. In this paper, Toporišič's view of Pleteršnik's work is analysed as well as the importance of Toporišič's Pleteršnik's Days for the development of Slovene lexicography.
