Abstract
Traditionally, Zulu adjectives have been lemmatized under their stems only. In this research article, art in-depth analysis is undertaken to make a case for the lemmatization of all frequent adjectival forms with their adjective concords rather. It is shown that the supposed explosion in size of the dictionary may be contained within a corpus-driven Sinclairian framework. The advantages of such a word-like treatment far outnumber the generalizations that have hitherto characterized the lexicographic treatment of adjectives in Zulu. The Study is supported by ample dictionary extracts from a Zulu-English dictionary project aimed at junior users. Comparisons with existing dictionaries and textbook data are also made.
