<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Lexeme''' is a term that is used to express the idea that inflected forms, which are words themselves, are still variants of one single word.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> if we take a look at the declension of the Russian adjective ''bol'soj'' 'large, big, grand', we find that this word has a variety of forms:<br /> <br /> (i) bol's-oj nominative singular masculine<br /> bol's-omu dative singular masc.<br /> bol's-ix genitive plural masc.<br /> (ii) bol's-aja nom.sg. feminine<br /> bol's-oj dat.sg. fem.<br /> bol's-ix gen.pl. fem.<br /> <br /> In a sense each of these variants is itself a word: the term 'word form' is used for them, and the term 'lexeme' is used for the more general sense, so that we can say that ''bol'somu'' is a form of the lexeme BOL'SOJ (lexemes are represented in upper case).<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Lexeme&amp;lemmacode=600 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Spencer, A. 1991.
