Lemgram

The concept lemgram is the Språkbanken way of modeling what linguists and lexicographers refer to as lexemes and lemmas. Ordbild uses lemgrams.

Definitions of the concepts

• lexeme = member of an open lexical category, having meaning and form but being neither
• lemma = wordform used as representative for lexeme
• grammatical word pair of lemma+grammatical properties and wordform
• paradigm = set of grammatical words realising a lemma
• lemgram = set of wordforms in paradigm

Generation of lemgrams

Generation of lemgrams from lexc (note: this may be obsolete, read with care):

Use generator-dict-gt-norm.hfstol. We remove the tags v1, v2.. from the fst. It is better for the user that all variants of the same paradigm are in the same lemgram. Many fst-lemmas have more than one entry in lexc, so the list should be uniqed before generating forms. I suggest that we start with these files:

noun-sme-lex.txt:

For nouns, we pick different 3 lists: The ordinary nouns, the actors (NomAg), and the G3-marked nouns. For the other parts of speech, one command is enough. Commands to filter (ir)relevant forms:

*Ordinary words:

egrep -v "(G3|ACTOR|CmpN/Only|ShCmp|RCmpnd|\+V\+|^\!)"

• ACTOR:

grep N+NomAg

• G3:

grep N+G3

verb-sme-lex.txt:

egrep -v "(ENDLEX|\+V|^\!)"

adj-sme-lex.txt:

egrep -v "(LEXICON|Der| Rreal | R |^\!)"

adv-sme-lex.txt:

egrep -v "(LEXICON| K |^\!)"
