AFRILEX

Lexikos Journal

 

LEXIKOS is the official mouthpiece of AFRILEX.

 

In 1991 the Bureau of the WAT took the initiative to begin publishing a journal of lexicography called Lexikos as the first in a series called AFRILEX, the acronym for "lexicography in and for Africa". After the establishment of the African Association for Lexicography, Lexikos (as of Volume 6, published in 1996) also became the official mouthpiece of the Association, Afrilex.

 

Members of Afrilex are invited to share, through Lexikos, in lexicographic discussion.

 

Contributions from non-members, from any part of the world, and on any language(s), are also welcomed.
