	Lexeme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lexeme is an abstract unit of morphological analysis in linguistics, that roughly corresponds to a set of words that are "the same" in basic meaning.
		A related concept is the lemma (or citation form), which is a particular form of a lexeme that is chosen by convention to represent a canonical form of a lexeme.
		A lexeme belongs to a particular syntactic category, has a particular meaning (semantic value), and in inflecting languages, has a corresponding inflectional paradigm; that is, a lexeme in many languages will have many different forms.

		A related concept is the lemma, which is a particular form of a lexeme that is chosen by convention to represent a canonical form of a lexeme.
		In linguistics, and particularly in morphology, a lemma is the canonical form of a lexeme.
		For example, the difference between inflection and derivation can be stated in terms of lexemes: Morphology is a subdiscipline of linguistics that studies word structure.

	Lexeme - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Unlike words, which are defined by paraphrases or synonyms in a dictionary, lexemes are concepts in the mind.
		Furthermore, the concept is not the only information stored in the lexicon with each lexeme, but also the phonetic description and the additional inflectional (and perhaps derivational) morphemes with which the lexeme can combine for other forms (example: /-s/ to indicate plural in English).
		In many formal theories of language, lexemes have subcategorization frames to account for the number and types of other lexemes they occur with in sentences and other syntactic structures.

		When the lexical analyzer lands on the dead state, it is done; it goes back to the last accepting state, and thus has the type and length of the longest valid lexeme.
		A lexeme, however, is only a string of characters known to be of a certain type.
		The lexeme's type combined with its value is what properly constitutes a token, which can be given to a parser.

		The lexeme is also useful in handling expressions like red tape 'silly detailed unnecessary official rules that delay action' (1) and kick the bucket 'die' (2) as opposed to red tape 'tape which is red' (3) and kick the bucket 'strike the bucket with one's foot' (4).
		It is customary to use inverted commas to indicate that a sequence of words are used to represent the sense of a lexeme.
		In addition to the sense of a lexeme, it is customary to talk about the connotations of the lexeme: more or less subjective associations that the lexeme provokes in the individual language user.

	Language Log: Don't say "lexeme" or we'll break your legs
		Lexeme is a fairly familiar technical term in linguistics (especially morphology).
		The forms that are not predictable are listed at the beginning of the entry for the lexeme.
		The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language uses the distinction between word forms and lexemes throughout, and distinguishes the two notationally: word forms like taken in plain italics and lexemes like take in bold italics.

	Language Log: Lexemes and word forms
		A lexeme is a word in roughly the sense that would correspond to a dictionary entry.
		For words that have only one shape the distinction between lexemes and word forms makes no sense (for a language that truly has no inflection at all, one wouldn't draw the distinction), so the minimum number of word forms for a lexeme would be two.
		In some languages (Sanskrit, for example) the number of word forms for a verb lexeme is in the high hundreds, and for some others (Turkish, for example) it is certainly in the thousands.

		A lexer (lexical analyzer) is an input procedure that reads lexemes: blocks of input conforming to a specified set of patterns.
		The lexeme type is a symbol which describes a general category into which the lexeme-string falls.
		A lexer can be specified as a series of regular expressions which define the acceptable patterns of lexeme strings, and an associated series of lexeme types or action procedures.

		"A lexeme is the smallest meaningful unit in the grammar that has syntactic interpretation." This doesn't appear to be true.
		For instance, the subsequent table indicates that 'p:foo' is a lexeme, but it seems clear (to me, anyway) that 'p' and 'foo' are smaller meaningful units that have syntactic interpretation.
		"Lexemes that must be described by lexical lookahead..." You've just considered a case that could be handled/described by lexical lookahead or by "long tokens".

		If the plural forms of an individual lexeme are compared to the frequency one would expect for a typical lexeme of the corpus, anomalies in the absolute frequency of the plural subparadigm emerge.
		A lexeme’s proportion of plural forms is compared to the distribution of these proportions in the coprus as a whole.
		Finally, a given lexeme may have a significantly higher (or lower) than average proportion of word forms for a given cell.

		If compounds are decomposed into their constituent lexemes, then corresponding frequency effects should emerge for one or both lexemes.
		The data also showed that the frequency effects were mainly influenced by the location of the meaningful lexeme, with a larger frequency effect in the beginning lexeme for headed compounds and a larger effect in the ending lexeme for tailed compounds.
		For example if the interaction between meaning and frequency accrues after the meaning of the whole compound word was accessed, we would expect an interaction in the gaze or second fixation durations on the compound word but not in the first fixation durations.

		"A lexeme is the smallest meaningful unit in the grammar that has syntactic interpretation." The subsequent table used to say that 'p:foo' was one lexeme, but that conflicted with the above sentence, because 'p' and 'foo' are smaller meaningful units.
		However, that's the wrong response to the conflict, because it implies that arbitrary whitespace is allowed around the colon, which is presumably not what you intended.
		If there is more than one lexeme, they may be separated by whitespace or punctuation." Surely not punctuation: if two lexemes are separated by punctuation, the punctuation would itself be a lexeme.
