Lexicography ...
... in a nutshell

Afrilex was established
in 1995.

Membership
of Afrilex is open to individuals and institutions who have an interest in
lexicography.

The aim
of Afrilex is the promotion and co-ordination of the research, study and
teaching of lexicography by means of the publication of a journal
and other appropriate literature, and the organisation of regular conferences
and seminars
to provide an opportunity for an exchange of ideas and for mutual stimulus to
researchers and practitioners in the field of lexicography.

Afrilex also
facilitates tutorials
and training
courses.
·
Afrilex is
managed by a Board
elected biannually by the members present at a General Meeting of the
Association.

Afrilex seeks
co-operation with other international
associations for lexicography as well as local associations interested in
the study of language such as the Linguistic
Society of Southern Africa (LSSA) and the African Language
Association of Southern Africa (ALASA).
