- ItemDie fakultatiewe vir Afrikaans(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1992) Bosman, Christa; Feinauer, A. E.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Afrikaans and Dutch.The Afrikaans preposition vir operates as a function word to indicate the possible relationships which exist between the verb and the noun(s) in the sentence. The most important relationships expressed by vir are time, goal and price. This capacity of vir, is the basis for its classification as a function word or preposition. However, vir has required an additional function. Because Afrikaans has no case marking, participants in a sentence are not always marked clearly enough as regards their role in the action expressed by the verb. in these instances an optional vir is used to indicate the object.
- Itemn Metaleksikografiese fundering van Afrikaanse skoolwoordeboeke(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1990) Lombard, Frederik Johannes; Gouws, R. H.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Afrikaans and Dutch.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation deals with theoretical aspects of lexicography as they apply to school dictionaries; Afrikaans school dictionaries in particular. Every dictionary should be compiled with the lexical needs of its users in mind. I point out the way in which dictionaries serve their users and stress user friendliness and various ways to achieve it. The youthful user of a school dictionary should determine the presentation of a school dictionary and not only lexicographical conventions. This fact is pointed out and elaborated on. Before looking more closely at school dictionaries, I describe them typologically and show their place in the larger family of dictionaries. I distinguish a school dictionary from a learner's dictionary which is also a pedagogical dictionary. For the purpose of this study I take a look at aspects concerning the compilation of dictionaries, the authority of dictionaries and the implications thereof as well as the sources which the compilers of dictionaries use. I also point out the fact that there is a real need for school dictionaries. The task of the lexicographer, general problems that he can experience, information which he should give, the planning and presentation of his information and the macro- and microstructure of the dictionary he is compiling are among some of the aspects dealt with. I furthermore look at criticism levelled at dictionaries and criteria for their evaluation and I focus attention on the descriptive versus the prescriptive dictionary. I conclude that a descriptive dictionary with certain inevitable prescriptive elements is probably the way the compiler of a school dictionary should pursue. A comprehensive key to the use of a dictionary, especially a school dictionary, is of great importance. I look at the presentation of such a key and give an indication of the information which the user should be able to find there. Before discussing the different microstructural elements of dictionaries (with particular reference to the way the compiler of an Afrikaans school dictionary should treat and describe them), I point out the need for a more comprehensive presentation of these elements. With regard to the microstructure of school dictionaries I focus especially on the lexicographical definition and citations, collocations and other syntactical examples. In the last chapter I propose a model for an Afrikaans school dictionary.

- ItemSosiolinguistiese aspekte van die persoonsnaam : met spesifieke verwysing na die invloed van sosio-ekonomiese klas(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1990) Smit, Janetta Debora; de Stadler, L. G.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Afrikaans and Dutch.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The personal name stock of a language includes those elements of the language which often are to a great extent subjected to the influence of specific social parameters. As a result, characteristics of the social structure of a society are often reflected in the process of naming, and the personal name is often related to the social attributes of a specific person. Naming in the South African society, and the different ways in which some social parameters are being reflected in South African naming patterns, are investigated in this study. The parameters which are discussed are i) sex (male vs. female), ii) age (old vs. young), iii) family relations, iv) religious relations, v) national relations, vi) racial classification and vii) socioeconomic class. Fieldwork research has been done on the lastnamed parameter. The study showed that personal names in the South African society are not only a linguistic issue, but reveals a special social content too, and forces the investigator to conclude that there is an undoubted relation between the personal name and the abovenamed parameters in the South African society.
