Introducing a New Lexicographical Model: AlphaConceptual+ (and How it Could Be Applied to Dictionaries for Luganda)

In this article we explore the possibility of amalgamating the semasiological (i.e. alpha­betical), onomasiological (i.e. conceptual) and visual approaches to dictionary compilation, here termed an alphaconceptual+ (i.e. alphaconceptual 'plus') dictionary, using Luganda as a brief case stu...

In Section 1 we expound on the his­tory of Luganda lexicography, highlighting the different types of dictionaries in the language since the early 1900s.
