Functionele aspecten van de gecomputeriseerde lexicografie
Abstract
<b>Functional Aspects of Computerised Lexicography</b>The computerisation of lexicography has meant that traditional dictionaries are now supported, supplemented and — in some places — already supplanted by new electronic off- and online information carriers. The <i>Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal</i> (<I>WNT</I>) which was "completed" in 1998 and its electronic successors form a case study of these developments. In addition to a short description of the <I>WNT</I> project, this article also focuses on the functional aspects of computerised lexicography. Some of the more general aspects of information and knowledge technology are stressed, including the role of the user who needs to carry out his/her searches through the language banks of the future with the least possible effort.Copyright of all material published in Lexikos will be vested in the Board of Directors of the Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal. Authors are free, however, to use their material elsewhere provided that Lexikos (AFRILEX Series) is acknowledged as the original publication source.
