lempos
Lempos is a positional attribute, i.e. an attribute assigned to each token in the corpus. It is a combination of lemma and part of speech (pos) consisting of the lemma, hyphen and a one-letter abbreviation of the part of speech, eg. go-v, house-n.
The letters used for the part of speech (-n, -v, -j etc.) differ between languages. Some less common parts of speech do not have their specific letter but are all classified as -x.
Lempos is case sensitive, house-n is different from House-n. Lempos is the default attribute used by the Word Sketch.
The last letter of lempos is also used as the POS atribute, the simplified POS tag.
