Abstract: The aim of this article is to reflect on current utilization of corpora and lexicographic tools built from corpora as well as on future perspectives on the development of corpora and corpus tools. The point of departure is a lexicographic perspective for Afrikaans and the Bantu languages spoken in South Africa. The crucial development steps to future corpus-based lexicography, in chronological order, are: corpus creation, corpus annotation, qualitative corpus query outputs and advanced dictionary writing systems capable of extracting relevant data from corpora and other lexicographic sources. Such advanced dictionary writing systems place the lexicographer in the position of a final editor rather than a dictionary compiler.
