Excerpt

In this article, Geoffrey Hughes highlights the significance of Charles Pettman's pioneering dictionary of South African English, a variety of the English language that is compelling for borrowing linguistic resources from other cultures that South African has had contact with. Pettman's Africanderisms led the groundwork for other dictionaries, such as the Oxford Dictionary of South African English.
