Description
The Luganda-English Linguistics Dictionary is probably Luganda’s first and most comprehensive specialized dictionary. It is a memorial to the history of teaching and learning Luganda as a subject, which began with the arrival of missionaries in Uganda in 1877 (Anglicans) and 1879 (Catholics). More than two thousand terms representing various concepts from linguistic fields such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, among others, are coined, evaluated, and standardized. The PEGITOSCA criterion guided the creation and harmonization of the terms. PEGITOSCA is a mnemonic reformulation of designating principles of term formation for pPecision, Economy, Generativity, Internationality, Transparency, anti-Obscenity (objectivity), Systematicity, Clarity, and Acceptability. Each of these terms is defined and processed as a dictionary entry, with examples drawn from Luganda or other languages where applicable. It is a guide not only to those teaching Luganda linguistics but also to those teaching Africa’s indigenous languages. We believe that this volume will go a long way toward empowering Uganda’s indigenous languages, especially in the field of linguistics at all levels of education.
