| dc.description.abstract | PREFACE: The last decade has witnessed the emergence of a new wave of professional lexicographers in South Africa. The establishment of the Pan South African Language Board’s National Lexicography Units, one for each of the eleven offi cial languages, and the growing interest in lexicographic principles and practice among academics, freelance lexicographers and publishers, created the need for a theoretically-based book directed at the needs of experts, both in the lexicographic practice and in the fi eld of theoretical lexicography. Principles and Practice of South African Lexicography is a response to this need. The book endeavours to cover signifi cant phases and features of a lexicographic process, with a focus on the historical orientation of theoretical lexicography, the preparation phases in the lexicographic process, including material collection and corpus building, and various aspects of the data distribution programme, e.g. diff erent lexicographic structures. Diff erent facets from the general theory of lexicography are applied to the lexicography of the South African languages and from the perspective of lexicographic challenges confronting the South African languages suggestions are made to enhance the general theory of lexicography. This book wishes to promote the desperately needed interaction between theory and practice in the fi eld of lexicography. | en_ZA |
