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.
