Dear colleagues, These are exciting times! The Board of AFRILEX (i.e. the African Association for Lexicography), in conjunction with the Bureau of the WAT, decided to turn Lexikos into an open access journal. Starting with Volume 21 (2011), Lexikos is now freely available to all online readers. Back issues are being added as they are digitized and indexed. Please visit: http://lexikos.journals.ac.za/ Officially the mouthpiece of AFRILEX, Lexikos also welcomes contributions from non-members. Lexikos is indexed by the Thomson Reuters Web of Science Citation Index. Its Impact Factor for 2010 was 0.607. (The Impact Factor of our sister publication, the International Journal of Lexicography, was of the same order for 2010: 0.567.) Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to this year's editor of Lexikos, Prof. D.J. Prinsloo, at danie.prinsloo@xxxxxxxxx Kind regards, Gilles-Maurice de Schryver President: AFRILEX http://tshwanedje.com/members/gmds/cv.html
