Book Description
The SALRM 2011 provides a rich source of information on a range of language-related subjects. A prominent issue remains the changing of street and place names, including the Pretoria/Tshwane and Louis Trichardt/Makhado sagas. Language in education remains a thorny issue; as medium of instruction at school and tertiary level, and the proposal that passing an African language should be a requirement in order to obtain a tertiary degree in South Africa. In terms of language legislation, the draft version of the National Language Act was proposed. The language of record in courts also received attention in the media.

Book Description

On top of that, the index in the second half of the book provides you with a basic Afrikaans-English as well as English-Afrikaans dictionary which makes this a great resource for learners of all levels. What you can expect from this book: This Afrikaans learning resource is a combination of Afrikaans vocabulary book and a two-way basic Afrikaans dictionary: Part 1 - Topic based Afrikaans vocabulary book: This is the main part of the book and represents a list of chapters each containing Afrikaans vocabularies for a certain topic. The Afrikaans vocabularies in the chapters are unsorted on purpose to separate remembering them from a defined alphabetical order. You can start at any chapter and dive directly into the topics that interest you the most. Part 2 - Basic English-Afrikaans dictionary: The index in the second half of the book can be used as a basic Afrikaans dictionary to look up words you have learned but can't remember or learn new words you need. Part 3 - Basic Afrikaans-English dictionary: Easy to use and with just the right amount of words, this third part finishes off with a second index that allows you to look for Afrikaans words and directly find the English translation How to use this Afrikaans vocabulary book: Not sure where to start? We suggest you first work your way through the verbs, adjectives and phrases chapters in part one of the book. This will give you a great base for further studying and already enough vocabulary for basic communication. The Afrikaans dictionaries in part two and three can be used whenever needed to look up words you hear on the street, English words you want to know the Afrikaans translation for or simply to learn some new words. Some final thoughts: Vocabulary books have been around for centuries and as with so many things that have been around for some time, they are not very fashionable and a bit boring, but they usually work very well. Together with the basic Afrikaans dictionary parts, this vocabulary book is a great resource to support you throughout the process of learning Afrikaans and comes in particularly handy at times when there is no internet to look up words and phrases.

Book Description
Current Projects in Historical Lexicography brings together seven papers by present and recent editors of historical dictionaries and lexical databases. The collection is introduced with an overview of the history of historical lexicography from the ancient world to the present day, with particular emphasis on the major nineteenth-century dictionaries of German, French, English, Dutch, Swedish, and Danish, and on their successors. In the first paper, Javier Martín Arista describes the present state of, and the prospects for, the Nerthus lexical database of Old English. The next two introduce specialized dictionaries of the language of medieval and early modern texts: Fernando Tejedo-Herrero’s comprehensive dictionary of the language of the great thirteenth-century lawcode Siete Partidas, and Juhani Norri’s Dictionary of Medical Vocabulary in English, 1375–1530. Marijke Mooijaart’s paper discusses the online integration of the four historical dictionaries which cover Dutch from the earliest times to the twentieth century. The next two papers, Stefan Dollinger on the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles and the Bank of Canadian English, and Maggie Scott on the Concise Scots Dictionary, describe projects to revise twentieth-century historical dictionaries as the language varieties which they register evolve. Finally, Jeremy Bergerson’s paper presents a project for an etymologically rich historical dictionary of Afrikaans. An appendix to the volume comprises two previously unpublished short documents by Katherine Barber and John Considine which bear on the history of the Dictionary of Canadianisms revision project. The contributions to this volume offer a rare set of insights into ongoing lexicographical work, addressing both methodological issues such as inclusion criteria and the balance between diachronic and synchronic coverage, and practical issues such as publication media and funding.
