Book excerpt: Lexicography in Africa is a new book in the invaluable series Exeter Linguistic Studies and one of three volumes dedicated to lexicography to mark the fifth anniversary of the Dictionary Research Centre in the University of Exeter. It is the first attempt to fill a niche in our knowledge of lexicography on this continent. It does not pretend to be a complete survey of lexicography in Africa but a tentative one which conveys the most important trends in the field and a wealth of exemplary material. It investigates the lexicographic situation in different parts of Africa (Central Africa paper 3; Northern Africa paper 4 and Southern Africa paper 6) and the linguistic and historical background (paper 1 and 2). It also concerns itself with the user of the dictionary and his needs, types of dictionaries available and the hopes pinned on computer technology.

Sie basiert auf dem Material Oswin Köhlers. Außerdem enthält sie Eintragungen aus folgenden Quellen: Botanische Terminologie von Mathias Schladt (1999), Eigennamen von Matthias Brenzinger (1999) und verschiedene Einträge zur materiellen Kultur von Gertrud Boden und Stefanie Michels (2000). Khwe ist aus sprachwissenschaftlicher Sicht eine von sechs Dialektgruppen des Zentralkhoisan. Fünf dieser Dialektgruppen umfassen nach Köhler die Idiome von San-Gemeinschaften, die sechste die Dialekte aller Khoikhoi- und Bergdama-Gemeinschaften sowie einige weitere Sangemeinschaften. Zur Zeit leben ungefähr 8.000 Khwe im Caprivi-Streifen Nordwest-Namibias, in Angola, in Botswana und in Sambia sowie weitere 1.600 in Smithsdrift, Südafrika. Ein Anhang, der Ethnonyme, Klan-, Familien- und Eigennamen auflistet sowie ein etwa vierzigseitiger Beitrag von Matthias Brenzinger, der eine ausführliche Liste von Ortsnamen im westlichen Caprivi-Streifen enthält, beschließen die Studie.
