Lexeme

I got hold of an electronic copy of the paper and counted the number of different words it contained grouping inflectional variations, such as walk/walks/walking/walked, as a single item, or lexeme, as linguists call it. ❋ DC (2010)

No one questions that the lexeme Nihon consistently means "Japan", not "of Japan" in itself, however and this is how we see it translated in all dictionaries. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The f in this lexeme is merely lenition of p neighbouring tautosyllabic u, particularly when the next syllable contains a front vowel. ❋ Unknown (2009)

However, I've not yet found another lexeme with this same u ~ au alternation. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Speaking of red, linguists have determined that if any world language has only one a lexeme for a color besides black and white, it is always red. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The cases all described are interesting, but now I must ask some questions about a child I new when I was four, who was fluent in 4 languages Is "Quadlingual" a standardised lexeme? ❋ DC (2008)

A simple glottal stop (not a huge step up from no sound at all) being loaned as a creaky voiced velar stop (a very complex consonant) sounds like, to put it lightly, the kind of a correspondence I'd like to see more than one lexeme pair supporting. ❋ Unknown (2008)

We start with the adjective lexeme OPEN, which is a pure stative; The window is open doesn't require that it was ever closed (it might have been built that way), and The restaurant is open doesn't require that it was ever closed (it could be one of those restaurants that are always open). ❋ Glyn Moody (2008)

The way She enunciated it brought Her fulgurant teeth to rest on Her lower lip as the upper lip rose slightly in the f; and then, for the u, Her lips parted as if for a kiss, and they stretched back into smiling as the lexeme culminated so regally in king. ❋ Fathorse (2008)

Even if it does negate the lexeme, "A -" still means "without," and "without" still refers to the state of being of the person being explained. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"Theism" means "belief in god", the first part of the word is its lexeme (its nucleus) and means "god". ❋ Unknown (2010)

So according to you, a prefix negates the suffix, whereas in my opinion it negates the lexeme (as it usually does). ❋ Unknown (2010)

A paradigm is the complete set of related word-forms associated with a given lexeme. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Accordingly, the word-forms of a lexeme may be arranged conveniently into tables, by classifying them according to shared inflectional categories such as tense, aspect, mood, number, gender or case. ❋ Unknown (2008)

We thus say that dog and dogs are different forms of the same lexeme. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The first sense of "word," the one in which lexeme. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Derivation involves bound (non-independent) forms to existing lexemes, whereby the addition of the affix derives a new lexeme. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Given the notion of a lexeme, it is possible to distinguish two kinds of morphological rules. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Informally, word-formation rules form "new words" (that is, new lexemes), while inflection rules yield variant forms of the "same" word (lexeme). ❋ Unknown (2008)
