The Word lookup feature produces alphabetically ordered lists of lexical items (<w>-units) and lemma forms. You have a choice between the following two options:

• Display words/lemma forms starting with the sequence of characters entered in the text box
• Display words/lemma forms (fully) matched by the pattern entered in the text box

Lemmatisation options

• If you choose 'None' under 'Lemmatisation', a list with the following items is displayed:
  

  • The word-form
  • The number of occurrences in the (whole) BNC
  • The POS-tag of the word-form
  
  If the same word-form is found with different POS-tags, each word-form - tag combination will be shown in a separate row.

• If you choose 'Lancaster' under 'Lemmatisation', a list with the following items is displayed:
  
  
  
  • The lemma
  • The number of occurrences in the (whole) BNC.
  • The lemma type
  • The word-form - POS-tag combination(s) representing the lemma
  
  If the same lemma-form is found with different lemma types (e.g. 'SUBST' and 'VERB'), each lemma - type combination will be shown in a separate row.

The following screenshot shows the first ten entries of the list created for linguist with options 'Beginning of word' and 'Lemmatisation: Lancaster':

Clicking on the word or lemma form displayed in the second column executes a standard query without any kind of restrictions. If you click on the lemma type in the fourth column, a lemma query will be performed by attaching the lemma type to the word-form displayed in the second column. Clicking on any of the word-form - tag combinations in the last column performs a query for this particular combination.
