Abstract
Tshekatsheko ya matati polelong ya Sesotho sa Leboa go ya ka dinyakwa ta go ngwala Pukuntu, goba ge dikakanyo ta mmoledi wa polelo ye di sa atlege
Go thoma ka Mei 2001 Yuniti ya Bosethaba ya Pukuntu ya Sesotho sa Leboa e thomile semmuo go ngwala Pukuntutlhaloi ya Sesotho sa Leboa (PyaSsaL). Thulaganyo ya yona e laolwa ke teori ya Simultaneous Feedback, e theilwe godimo ga seegontu (khophase), gape e latela tsela ya go hlaloa manu a Sesotho sa Leboa go ya ka direrwa te di fapanego. Mo taodiwaneng ye go tsinkelwa mekgwa ya go fapanafapana ya thulaganyo gape mekgwa yeo e upetwa ka karolwana e tee ya direrwa ta PyaSsaL, e lego matati a beke. Go bonthwa ka fao tekanelo ya kopanyo ya dikakanyo ta mmoledi wa Sesotho sa Leboa, tshedimoo go twa go dipukuntu (ta malemepedi) teo di etego di le gona, dipoelo ta nyakiiontle, diphatiio ka gare ga seegontu, le dikakanyo ta borapopapolelo di ka kgonago ebile di swanete go fihlia tshekatshekong ya kgonthe go ya ka dinyakwa ta go ngwala pukuntu.
Since May 2001 the Sepedi National Lexicography Unit officially started the actual dictionary-writing of a pioneering Explanatory Sepedi Dictionary (PyaSsaL). The compilation is undertaken within the theoretical framework of Simultaneous Feedback, is fully corpus-based, and follows an onomasiological approach to the Sepedi lexicon. In this article the various compilation aspects are examined and illustrated by means of one onomasiological sub-field, namely the days of the week. It is shown how a balanced combination of mother-tongue intuition, data from existing (bilingual) dictionaries, fieldwork results, corpus queries, and grammarians' conjectures can and should lead to a sound lexicographic treatment.
