lemmasanaksi
Lemmasanaksi is a term in linguistics used to describe a hypothetical framework for analyzing how lemma-level representations, which abstract away inflected word forms, interact with syntactic and semantic structure to produce meaning in natural languages. The concept emphasizes tracking lexical base forms through morphology and syntax to explain polysemy, inflectional variation, and cross-linguistic differences in meaning.
Etymology: The coinage blends lemma, the base form of a lexeme, with a suffix "-sanaksi," a pseudo-Greek-derived
Theory: Lemmasanaksi posits three components: (1) a lemma-centered representation that remains stable across inflection, (2) a
Methodology: It is typically explored via corpus studies and computational modeling, where lemmas are annotated with
Applications: Potential uses include improving semantic parsing for morphologically rich languages, aiding historical linguistics, and informing
Limitations: As a nascent, hypothetical construct, lemmasanaksi has not been widely adopted and remains a topic
