It is published by Bureau of the Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal of the association the African Association for Lexicography. It became the official journal of the latter in 1996. It appears annually and publishes contributions in English, Afrikaans, Dutch, French and German (with abstracts in English). Since the retirement of Johan C.M.D. du Plessis in 2010, a team of three rotating editors was put in place. The team takes joint responsibility of each issue, with one member of the team being appointed as editor in chief annually. The current team members are Danie Prinsloo, Elsabé Taljard and Steve Ndinga-Koumba-Binza.
