Abstract
This paper looks at whether, after two decades of corpus building for the Bantu languages, the time is ripe to begin using monitor corpora. As a proof-of-concept, the usefulness of a Lusoga monitor corpus for lexicographic purposes, in case for the detection of neologisms, both in terms of new words and new meanings, is investigated and found useful.
