Lemmatization on French mor tiers

[Nicola Phillips]

Hello, 

I was reading a chapter by Treffers-Daller today (citation below) and 
wondered if a solution had ever been found for the problem described as 
follows: 

"the French mor tier distinguishes different subcategories of verb forms 
(infinitival, participial, progressive and other forms) in the information 
to the left of the pipe separator (|) which separates the syntactic 
category information from the word itself.... This means that FREQ counts 
these different forms of trouver as different types rather than as 
different tokens of the type trouver, which results in inflated indices of 
lexical richness. This problem also exists, but to a lesser extent, for 
other syntactic categories such as pronouns. Using switches such as s”*-% 
%”, which tell CLAN to ignore form variants, does not solve the problem, 
because these switches only look at information after the pipe separator"

Thanks so much for your input!
