Identifier: lemma   Type: complex/open   Origin: ?   Profile: Morphosyntax

Definition: Base form a word or term that is used as the formal entry in a dictionary.
Source: ISO12620A-020803 Sue Ellen Wright + Francopoulo
Note: The lemma is the written form of the lemmatised Form. Note : For nouns, the base form is frequently the nominative singular form (in languages that show variation by case). For adjectives it is the positive form of the adjective, as opposed to the comparative, for instance. In some languages it is uninflected, whereas in others it is the masculine singular. For verbs it is generally the infinitive rather than an inflected form.

Example: A pronoun. For example, the lemma go consists of go together with goes, going, went, and gone.
