@article{Kosch_2013, title={An Analysis of the Oxford Bilingual School Dictionary: Northern Sotho and English (De Schryver 2007)}, volume={23}, url={https://lexikos.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/1232}, DOI={10.5788/23-1-1232}, abstractNote={<p class="AP">The <em>Oxford Bilingual School Dictionary: Northern Sotho and English </em>(De Schryver 2007) is a welcome addition to dictionaries that have been compiled for school use in particular. Its novelty and appeal lie in the fact that the lemmas and Northern Sotho mini-grammar are based on a cor­pus of general language usage and school textbooks. It reflects current language usage and con­cerns in the modern world that learners can easily relate to, making it a popular alternative to the more traditional dictionaries. This bidirectional, bilingual dictionary is equally useful to native speak­ers of Northern Sotho learning English and to English-speakers acquiring Northern Sotho. Though the number of lemmas is restricted to 5 000 in the lemma lists for Northern Sotho and English respec­tively, the compilers nevertheless succeeded in meeting the basic lexicographic and gram­matical needs of the learner. This review article aims to take a critical look at various features of the dic­tionary.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Lexikos}, author={Kosch, Inge}, year={2013}, month={Dec.} }
