Can key key word lists be lemmatised?

Really good that concordance collocation results can now be lemmatised
9when did this improvemnt come in BTW?)

Is it possible to lemmatise KKW results in a similar way?

Glad you like it. Sorry, I cannot remember! I make loads of changes
and don't always document them. (Yes I know I should but I also have
to be a teacher and mark papers etc.) To find out would require
trawling through my emails to see if someone suggested it and when
that was and I can't be bothered I'm afraid.

Probably not. Is that important to you, Duncan? If so I may attempt to
incorporate it. (In general I follow John Sinclair in scepticism re
lemmatisation.)

Cheers -- Mike

Hi Mike,

No I appreciate that you are busy guy. In fact, I have no idea how you
mange to get as much done as you do!

Actually KKW lemmatisation is not really a big thing for me, but
thought it would be good to check I wasn't missing out any procedure I
could be trying...

I take your point about lemmatisation. Different words behaving
differently, etc, so appreciate your concern about it!

thanks for your help!
