The purpose of this article is to illustrate the application of this framework, using the lexical item emeritus as a case study. The history of emeritus in the various editions of the AWS is discussed, and it is illustrated that its lexicographic treatment in AWS does not provide the end-user with any clear answers as to how emeritus should be used in combination with other nouns (titles). Moreover, its treatment in several other Afrikaans dictionaries varies considerably, leaving end-users with even more uncertainty. It therefore necessitates a systematic analysis of this lexical item, using various macro- and microstructural criteria.otherAfrikaansAfrikaanse Woordelys en Spelreëls (AWS)elimination criteriainclusion criterialexicographynormative linguisticsorthographySuid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns (SAAWK)Taalkommissie (TK)Article
