Abstract
Afrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings. A Macrostructural Study. A restricted
synchronic dictionary such as Afrikaanse Spreekwoorde en Uitdrukkings has an important role to play
in modem Iexirography where user-friendly reference sources facilitate communication. A
considerable number of theoretical guidelines exist for the choice of lexicon items to be included in
a dictionary, and this review article attempts to provide some pointers. The research also includes
sociolinguistic implications which result from the compilation of the macrostructure of a particular
dictionary. The focal points are firstly taboos to which lexicographers of Afrikaans dictionaries are
subjected, and secondly establishing which expressions fall within the limits of idiomatic language
usage. The treatment of idiom-like collocations particularly appears to be problematic. Another
issue which will be considered briefly, ls the morphological presentation of lemmas.
