The Lexicographic Treatment of Quantitative Pronouns in Zulu

Abstract

Abstract: In Zulu, there are three kinds of quantitatives: inclusive, exclusive and numeral. For the lemmatization of these, even existing traditional dictionaries felt the need to move away from a
pure 'stem' approach towards a 'word' approach. In a new Zulu–English dictionary project, this is not only confirmed, but is taken one step further with particular attention to the microstructure.
