Aims & Scope
Lexikos (Greek for "of or for words") is a journal for the lexicographical specialist. It is the only journal in Africa that is exclusively devoted to lexicography. Articles dealing with all aspects of lexicography or the implications that research in related disciplines such as linguistics, computer and information science, etc. has for lexicography will be considered for publication. Articles dealing with terminology will be also considered provided a lexicographic perspective is apparent. Articles that do not have a lexicographic focus will not be processed.
