The Afrikaans stoplist for corpus research (version 1.0) comprises a master list of 1,298 items, based on frequency counts in the Taalkommissie corpus 1.1. The list has been curated based on relative word frequency classes, and Zipf values. In addition, each item has been categorised in terms of length, typecase, selection category, lexical type (i.e. content or function word), and part-of-speech category. For ease of use, three subsets of the main list is also provided.
A number of word frequency calculators are provided for Afrikaans corpora in the Virtual Institute for Afrikaans’ (VivA) corpus portal.
This chapter reports on the role that the Virtual Institute for Afrikaans (VivA) is playing as a content provider of quality Afrikaans linguistic material in the blended learning environment. The aim is to present VivA as a case study or prototype of an independent organisation acting as a key stakeholder in the blended learning ecosystem.
MorfAf (Morfologie van Afrikaans) is ‘n reeks oor die struktuur van komplekse Afrikaanse woorde. Deel 1 (2018) begin met ‘n verkenning van basisbegrippe (soos morfeme, affikse, stamme en wortels), terwyl verskeie moeiliker kwessies in deel 2 (2020) in meer besonderhede ondersoek word. Die doel is om nie net ‘n oorsig oor Afrikaanse woordbou te kry nie, maar ook om bekendgestel te word aan algemene begrippe in die morfologie, spesifiek konstruksiemorfologie. Analises van woorde is gebaseer op die skrifbeeld van die woorde (ortografie), asook op die herkoms van woorde (etimologie).
The grammar and lexicon of Afrikaans can be divided into various diachronic layers (etymological tiers). A diagram and Excel spreadsheet are provided to describe the various strata in the development of Afrikaans.

MorfAf (Morfologie van Afrikaans) is ‘n reeks oor die struktuur van komplekse Afrikaanse woorde. Ons skop in deel 1 (2018) af met ‘n verkenning van basisbegrippe (soos morfeme, affikse, stamme en wortels), waarna verskeie woordvormingsprosesse in deel 2 (2020) in meer besonderhede ondersoek word. Die doel is om nie net ‘n oorsig oor Afrikaanse woordbou te kry nie, maar ook om bekendgestel te word aan algemene begrippe in die morfologie, spesifiek konstruksiemorfologie.

In this chapter, Van Huyssteen explores what the future of the standard written varieties of languages might be, whith a specific focus on Afrikaans.
In this project we explored possibilities to share resources for closely-related languages (specifically Afrikaans and Dutch), in order to fast-track resource development.
