How to use the Lemma for version 4.3.1 AntConc

[Phong Nguyễn]

Hi Anthony, 

I'm using lemma to group similar words into one, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's my lemma code; can you help me edit it so that the lemma functionality works? 

Thank you for clarifying hints.

Regards

Phong.

Hi,

As the help page of AntConc explains, "The format of the headword//lemma/grouping list is as follows (where -> represents a tab character)"

So, just replace your -> character with a tab and everything should work.

Saying that, I usually recommend that people POS tag their entire corpus, for example with my TagAnt tool, and then load that data into AntConc via the corpus manager, using the simple_word_pos_headword indexer. Then, you'll have lemma and POS information that you can use. It's much more reliable.

Regards,

Laurence.

Thank you for your help, Professor. I'm having a problem. My Lemma program followed your instructions, but it still doesn't seem to work. For example, the words "tablet" and "tablets" are still listed separately instead of being combined. Could you please point out the error so I can fix it?

Thank you for clarifying hints.

Regards

Phong.
