Abstract:
The study analyses the treatment of traditional artefacts in Northern Sotho-English Dictionaries. It highlights that artefacts have not received proper treatment in such dictionaries. The end-user is often left unsatisfied because the artefacts are not explained in such a manner that the end-user understands what they are or used for. As a result, the study recommends the use of pictures and paraphrasing to resolve the aforementioned challenge.
