“…Vanwee HAT se standaardiserings-en normeringsfunksie in die Afrikaanssprekende gemeenskap, sou met reg verwag kon word dat hersiene uitgawes moet tred hou met veranderinge, so weI op taalgebied as op sosiopolitieke en kulturele gebied. Die derde hersiene uitgawe kan onder andere beoordeel word op grond van die mate waarin die volgende belangrike tendense verreken is: Diskriminasie, veral met betrekking tot ras, is in die verlede sterk met die wit Afrikaanssprekende verbind, onder andere omdat Afrikaans deur 'n bepaalde regering as instrument van apartheid geinstitusionaliseer is en omdat Afrikaanse woordeboeke op konkrete wyse aan apartheid gestalte gegee het (vergelyk Esterhuyse 1987;Carstens 1994a;1994b;1995). Die stereotiepe beeld van Afrikaans as apartheidsinstrument is versterk as gevolg van die proliferasie van kwetsende terme vir rassegroepe in die taal, en die dikwels onsensitiewe hantering daarvan in woordeboeke.…”

A Critical Review of HAP. HAT can be viewed as one of the most widely used and most authoritative desk dictionaries of Afrikaans. On the basis of this status and authority it can duly be expected that the most significant changes which have occurred in the Afrikaansspeaking community during the past decade are reflected in the third revised and updated edition, published in 1994. Among these are socio-political changes, rapprochement between Standard Afrikaans and the vernacular, and a departure from elitism in favour of populism. Firstly, the front matter is reviewed with regard to the extent in which these tendencies are reflected. Secondly, aspects of the micro-and macrostructure are discussed in view of the extent to which they echo the Voorn70ord (user's guide). Aspects looked into are descriptiveness and prescriptiveness, userorientation, ideology, headword selection, as well as the systematic and motivated implementation of lexicographic and typographical conventions. It is concluded that the third edition of HAT is a great improvement on the second, especiaUy with regard to ideological sensitivity, userfriendliness and a calculated break with the Afrikaans lexicographic tradition of linguistic purism.
