ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study proposes a theoretical model for the use of outer texts in Xitsonga dictionaries in order to enhance their quality. Dictionaries in African languages have shown a central list bias and outer texts have not been maximally used as venues to accommodate lexicographic data. The statement of the problem the quality of dictionaries in African languages is outlined in Chapter I. The study also presents a brief profile of Xitsonga that could be used as an outer text in Xitsonga dictionaries. Lexicographic theories of dictionary structures, the genuine purpose and lexicographic functions are also discussed. The study also takes a critical look at outer texts in Xitsonga dictionaries complied over the years, and in the last chapter it proposes a model that could be used for outer texts that can be included in both the front matter and back matter sections of these dictionaries. The concept of high frequency usage of words is also introduced in the last chapter. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie bied ’n teoretiese model vir die gebruik van buitetekste in eentalige Xitsonga woordeboeke om die gehalte daarvan te verbeter. Woordeboeke in Afrikatale lewer bewys van ’n partydigheid ten gunste van die sentrale lys waardeur die buitetekste nie maksimaal benut word in die weergawe van leksikografiese data nie. Die probleem van die gehalte van woordeboeke in Afrikatale word in hoofstuk I aangeraak. Die studie bied ook ’n kort beskrywing van Xitsonga. Dit sou ook as buiteteks gebruik kan word in Xitsonga woordeboeke. Leksikografieteorie ten opsigte van woordeboekstrukture, die werklike doel van woordeboeke en leksikografiese funksies word ook bespreek. Die studie kyk ook krities na die buitetekse van bestaande Xitsonga woordeboeke. Die laaste hoofstuk stel ’n model voor wat gebruik kan word om buitetekste in te sluit in sowel die voor- as die agtertekste-afdelings van hierdie woordeboeke. Die konsep van die hoëfrekwensiegebruik van woorde work ook in die laaste hoofstuk bespreek.
